AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 43-13-117 to revise how Medicaid reimburses providers for durable medical equipment (DME). Specifically, it establishes that payment for new DME will be the lesser of the provider's usual charge or a fee from a statewide uniform fee schedule. This schedule will be updated annually on January 1st and will be calculated using 100% of the Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) Rural Fee Schedule in effect on that date. This change aims to standardize reimbursement rates for DME and ensure they are aligned with Medicare rates.
