SB 135 New Hampshire Senate · 2025 Regular Session

relative to rate setting parity for Medicaid state plan case management services.

SB 135 would require Medicaid to set payment rates for state plan case management services at parity with other similar Medicaid services, ensuring providers receive consistent reimbursement. This directly affects Medicaid service providers who deliver case management, such as community health organizations and social service agencies. The bill aims to prevent underfunding by aligning payment rates for these services with established Medicaid rate structures. However, the bill was ruled "Inexpedient to Legislate" by the Senate on October 31, 2025, halting its progress.
