Bill > H1295

This bill, concerning the adoption of alternative payment methodologies from the Office of Medicaid, proposes to amend Section 262 of Chapter 224 of the Acts of 2012 by extending the timeframe for these methodologies from the year 2014 to cover the years 2014 through 2018. Alternative payment methodologies are different ways of paying for healthcare services, moving away from traditional fee-for-service models to encourage value-based care and better patient outcomes. This change suggests a legislative effort to allow for the continued exploration and implementation of these innovative payment approaches within the Medicaid program for an additional period.
