Relating to Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for emergency outpatient dialysis treatment provided to certain individuals with end stage renal disease.

SB 374 requires Texas Medicaid to cover and reimburse emergency outpatient dialysis treatments for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who qualify under federal eligibility rules. It specifically ensures reimbursement for such treatments provided at hospitals or specialized facilities when necessary to address an emergency medical condition. The bill aligns Texas Medicaid coverage with existing federal requirements under Section 1903(v) of the Social Security Act. This applies only to emergency dialysis cases, not routine care, and takes effect September 1, 2025.
