AI Summary

This bill allows licensed independent clinical social workers to directly enroll with and bill Medicaid for services they provide to adults who have Medicaid fee-for-service coverage, meaning these individuals receive their Medicaid benefits directly from the state rather than through a managed care plan. This change, which will take effect immediately upon passage, aims to ensure that these social workers can be reimbursed for their covered services, and it directs the state's director to create a fee schedule and any necessary regulations to make this happen.
