Increases Medicaid reimbursement rates for primary care services; appropriates $20 million.
This bill increases Medicaid reimbursement rates for primary care services to match Medicare rates for the same services, using $20 million in state funding. It directly affects Medicaid providers - including family doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and midwives - who deliver primary care to Medicaid beneficiaries. The rate increase applies to both fee-for-service and managed care systems, ensuring payments for common services (like routine checkups) are at least 100% of Medicare rates. The bill requires a report by July 2024 on how these changes impact access to and quality of care for Medicaid patients.
