Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to coverage for services provided by school-based health centers for medical assistance recipients
AI Summary
This bill amends the social services law to ensure that services provided in school-based health centers are not covered through managed care programs for individuals receiving medical assistance, removing a previous provision that allowed for such coverage until at least April 1, 2026. Medical assistance refers to government-funded healthcare programs for low-income individuals, and managed care programs are a way of organizing healthcare services where a health plan manages the care provided to its members. The bill takes effect immediately, but the changes made to the social services law will be repealed if that section of the law is also repealed.
