Relative to protections for hospitals that contract with Medicaid managed care organizations. Health Care Financing.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure protections for hospitals that contract with Medicaid managed care organizations. The key provisions are: 1) Requiring that reimbursement rates for acute care hospitals contracting with Medicaid managed care organizations be subject to negotiation between the hospitals and the managed care organizations, rather than being limited or determined through contracts between the state executive office and the managed care organizations. 2) Prohibiting the state executive office from requiring hospitals to accept the state's fee-for-service rates for non-emergency services provided to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in managed care organizations.
