An act relating to Medicaid coverage for vitamin D deficiency testing
This bill requires Vermont Medicaid to cover vitamin D deficiency testing for its beneficiaries. It directly affects Vermont residents enrolled in Medicaid who need testing for vitamin D deficiency. The key provision mandates that Medicaid must pay for this specific diagnostic test, removing a potential financial barrier to screening. The bill does not change broader Medicaid coverage rules but adds this testing as a required benefit.
