Bill Summary

State/Local Hospitalization Program; Director of Medical Assistance Services; exemption from reporting requirement. Specifies that the Director of Medical Assistance Services shall only report on the estimates of the costs of the State/Local Hospitalization Program if funds are appropriated for the program during the fiscal year.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Virginia law to remove the "State/Local Hospitalization Program" from certain provisions related to liens for medical services and itemized billing requirements. Specifically, it removes the State/Local Hospitalization Program from the list of programs for which the Commonwealth can place a lien on a personal injury claim when medical treatment is paid for by these programs, and it also removes this program from the requirement for healthcare providers to provide itemized statements of charges upon patient request. The bill also repeals Chapter 12 of Title 32.1 of the Code of Virginia, which likely contained the original provisions for the State/Local Hospitalization Program.
