AN ACT RESTORING 2016 MEDICAID PAYMENT RATES FOR MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION.

HB 6098 restores 2016 Medicaid payment rates specifically for medication administration services provided to patients receiving care at home. This bill directly affects home healthcare providers who administer medications, ensuring they receive adequate compensation under Medicaid. The key mechanism is reinstating the 2016 payment rates, which were previously reduced, to prevent disruptions in service quality. The purpose is to maintain access to high-quality home care by addressing payment shortfalls that could impact provider participation.
