Bill > HB1590

This bill modifies Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to remove regulatory restrictions that previously limited medical assistance payments for clinic services to only those services provided within the physical confines of a clinic facility. Specifically, the bill abrogates (officially revokes or cancels) two specific sections of Pennsylvania regulatory code (Sections 1153.14(6) and 1223.14(11)) that previously defined certain clinic services as noncovered when they were not delivered inside a clinic's physical location. By removing these limitations, the bill expands the potential for medical assistance payments by allowing reimbursement for clinic services that might be provided outside of traditional clinic spaces. This change could potentially increase access to medical services by giving healthcare providers more flexibility in how and where they deliver care while still receiving medical assistance payment. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, meaning the regulatory changes will be implemented right away.
