Bill > SB2195

This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 41-7-191 to remove specific restrictions on a psychiatric residential treatment facility in DeSoto County that has a certificate of need for forty beds. Specifically, it eliminates the requirement for this facility to prioritize Mississippi residents being treated out-of-state and removes the limitation that no more than fifteen of its beds can be certified for participation in the Medicaid program, which is a government health insurance program for low-income individuals. The bill ensures that this facility will not face any prohibitions or restrictions regarding its participation in the Medicaid program that would not also apply to any other similar facility.
