Bill overview
This bill aims to improve Medicaid reimbursement rates for providers who transport individuals with behavioral health needs in a secure, non-emergency setting. Specifically, it requires the Department of Health and Human Services to include this service under Medicaid and seek federal authority to increase reimbursement rates by at least 15% for transport services to counties with populations under 100,000 and 10% for all other services. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘nonemergency secure behavioral health transport services’ and updates administrative procedures within the Department of Health and Human Services.
