Bill > SB249

This bill requires managed care organizations (MCOs) that contract with health care providers for Medicaid services to reimburse those providers for gross receipts taxes they are required to pay. Specifically, MCOs must include the amount of gross receipts taxes in their reimbursement payments and provide documentation that clearly separates the payment for health care services from the gross receipts tax amount. The bill defines a managed care organization as an entity eligible to enter into risk-based prepaid agreements for providing health care services, and Medicaid as the federal-state health care program administered under specific sections of the Social Security Act. The provisions of this bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, aiming to ensure that health care providers are fully compensated for the taxes they must pay when providing Medicaid services through managed care organizations.
