Medicaid; division shall allow provider to repay incorrect payments made to provider under an installment repayment plan.

HB 737 allows Mississippi Medicaid providers to repay overpayments through installment plans under specific conditions. It applies to providers who received incorrect Medicaid payments not caused by their fraud or abuse, and who cannot repay immediately or would face substantial financial hardship. The bill requires the Medicaid Division to permit repayment over up to 12 months (or longer per federal rules) after notification, replacing the previous requirement for immediate repayment. This change directly affects healthcare providers like clinics and hospitals that need flexibility to correct billing errors without immediate cash demands. The policy modifies existing repayment procedures without altering Medicaid eligibility or funding levels.
