SB 193 Utah Senate · 2025 General Session

Medicaid Provider Reimbursement Amendments

SB 193 requires annual Medicaid rate increases for certain providers, including Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and behavioral health plans, based on Utah's General Fund growth factor. The bill establishes a formula: if growth is below 100%, rates stay level; between 100-102%, rates increase by the growth factor; and above 102%, rates increase by 102% through 2026, then align with growth starting in 2027. It coordinates with another bill (SB 246) to clarify which legislation takes effect if both pass. The bill modifies existing budget processes but does not appropriate new funds, affecting providers who serve Medicaid beneficiaries.
