Medicaid; provide coverage for neonatal circumcision procedures.

HB 865 would require Mississippi Medicaid to cover neonatal circumcision procedures for eligible infants. This change would directly affect Medicaid-eligible families with newborns, as the procedure would be fully covered without out-of-pocket costs. The bill amends Section 43-13-117 of the Mississippi Code to explicitly include circumcision as a covered service under Medicaid, similar to other medically necessary infant health procedures. This policy change would ensure consistent coverage for all Medicaid-eligible newborns in the state without requiring separate authorization.
