Bill > SB01478

This bill establishes an interagency task force designed to improve and simplify the process by which municipalities bill Medicaid for school-based health services. The task force will include key state officials: the Commissioners of Education and Social Services, the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, and a representative from a municipal organization. The Commissioners of Education and Social Services (or their designees) will co-chair the task force, with their first meeting required within 60 days of the bill's passage and subsequent monthly meetings scheduled. By September 1, 2026, the task force must develop a strategic plan to streamline Medicaid billing procedures for school-based health services. Following this, they are required to file a report with the legislative committees responsible for education and human services by October 1, 2026. The bill aims to make the Medicaid reimbursement process more efficient for municipalities by creating a collaborative approach to addressing current billing challenges in school-based health service settings.
