HB 1115 requires the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for mental health services provided to children aged 19 or younger by 30%. This change directly affects pediatric mental health providers who serve Medicaid-eligible children in Oklahoma. The bill mandates this rate increase for all covered mental health services under Medicaid for the specified age group, effective November 1, 2025. The policy aims to improve provider compensation without altering eligibility or service requirements for children.
