Bill Summary
To require Medicaid reimbursement rate parity between the Connecticut Children's Medical Center and hospitals that primarily serve adults.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Connecticut Commissioner of Social Services to adjust Medicaid reimbursement rates for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center by October 1, 2025, ensuring that the pediatric hospital receives the same payment rates for medical services as adult-focused hospitals. Currently, children's hospitals often receive lower Medicaid reimbursement rates compared to adult hospitals, which can create financial challenges for pediatric healthcare providers. The bill aims to address this disparity by mandating rate parity, meaning the Children's Medical Center will be compensated at the same level as other hospitals for identical medical services. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving the state time to implement the new reimbursement structure in its Medicaid state plan. By equalizing these rates, the legislation seeks to support children's healthcare infrastructure and ensure that pediatric medical facilities are fairly compensated for the care they provide.
