Relating to prior authorization or precertification for the repair of complex rehabilitation technology equipment under Medicaid.

SB 2061 removes the requirement for Medicaid recipients or healthcare providers to obtain prior approval for repairs of complex rehabilitation technology equipment. The bill mandates that Texas Medicaid reimburse repair costs directly without needing prior authorization or precertification. This affects Medicaid beneficiaries who use specialized equipment (like mobility devices) and healthcare providers who maintain it. The policy change takes effect September 1, 2025, streamlining access to necessary repairs.
