SB 2195 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Medicaid reimbursements; revise certain provisions relating to a psychiatric residential treatment facility in DeSoto County.

SB 2195 would have removed a special restriction preventing a specific 40-bed psychiatric residential treatment facility in DeSoto County from participating in Mississippi's Medicaid program. The bill amended state law to ensure this facility could access Medicaid reimbursement on the same terms as other similar facilities, eliminating a requirement that would have applied only to it. It specifically revised the certificate of need approval process to remove discriminatory barriers for this facility. This change would have directly affected the facility's ability to serve Medicaid patients without additional regulatory hurdles.
