Bill Summary
To provide the same Medicaid reimbursement rate for each behavioral health home visit to a building housing more than one resident rather than reduced rates for subsequent visits to the same building by the same behavioral health practitioner.
AI Summary
This bill aims to change how Medicaid, a government health insurance program for low-income individuals, reimburses behavioral health practitioners for home visits. Currently, if a practitioner visits the same building multiple times to provide behavioral health services to different residents, they might receive a reduced payment for subsequent visits to that building. This bill proposes to eliminate those reduced rates, ensuring that each home visit to a building with multiple residents receives the same reimbursement amount, regardless of how many visits the practitioner has already made to that specific location. This change is intended to encourage practitioners to provide consistent care without financial disincentives for visiting facilities with more than one patient.
