Bill > HB4703

This bill requires the West Virginia Medicaid program to cover specific medical items for eligible enrollees. Specifically, it mandates coverage for lymphedema compression treatment items, which include things like compression garments and lymphedema pumps, for individuals diagnosed with lymphedema. Additionally, the bill ensures coverage for orthopedic braces, both custom-fitted and "off-the-shelf" (meaning they are pre-made and not custom-designed), for Medicaid recipients diagnosed with an orthopedic issue that necessitates a brace. The Bureau for Medical Services, the state agency that administers Medicaid, will be responsible for obtaining any necessary federal approval to implement these coverage requirements.
