Bill > SB201

This bill mandates that the Department for Medicaid Services and any private insurance companies contracted to manage Medicaid services must cover "evaluation and management services," which are standard medical services doctors use to assess a patient's condition and plan treatment. Crucially, it prohibits these entities from limiting coverage to fewer than two such service units per doctor, per patient, per day, ensuring a minimum level of access to these essential medical assessments. If federal approval is needed to implement these changes, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services or the Department for Medicaid Services is required to seek it within 90 days and can only delay implementation until that approval is granted, providing context that these changes are authorized by the General Assembly for the Medicaid program.
