Revise provider rate laws for physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists

This bill establishes a specific reimbursement rate for Medicaid-covered services provided by physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists in Montana. It sets the initial conversion factor at $39.56 for fiscal year 2026 and requires annual increases of at least the percentage change in the consumer price index for medical care. The legislation also updates state legal definitions to clarify terms like conversion factor, relative value unit, and policy adjuster used in calculating these payments. These changes take effect on July 1, 2025, and apply to all Medicaid providers of the specified therapy services.
