Bill Summary
AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY TO INCREASE THE MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR NURSING HOMES.
AI Summary
This bill provides an appropriation of $19.7 million from New Mexico's general fund to the state health care authority, specifically designated for increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates for nursing homes during fiscal year 2026. Medicaid reimbursement rates are the payments made by the government to healthcare providers for services rendered to Medicaid beneficiaries. The bill ensures that if any of these funds remain unused or uncommitted by the end of fiscal year 2026, they will be returned to the general fund. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to potentially improve nursing home funding, which could help support better care, infrastructure, or staffing in long-term care facilities that serve Medicaid patients.
