Medicaid; delete prohibition on participation in for psychiatric residential treatment facility in Desoto County.
HB 1325 removes a restriction preventing a specific psychiatric residential treatment facility in DeSoto County from participating in Mississippi's Medicaid program. The bill amends state law to delete a prohibition that blocked the facility - established under a hospital's Certificate of Need approval - from receiving Medicaid payments for its services. This change would directly allow the facility to bill Medicaid for care provided to eligible patients, without altering Medicaid eligibility or funding levels. The bill died in committee and did not become law.
