AN ACT CONCERNING MEDICAID AND MEDICARE RATE REIMBURSEMENT PARITY.

SB 390 requires Connecticut to raise Medicaid reimbursement rates for healthcare providers to match Medicare rates for covered inpatient and outpatient services, including care from doctors, hospitals, dentists, pharmacies, and emergency transport providers. It mandates that Medicaid rates reach 100% of Medicare rates and adjust annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index. The bill also requires the state to update its Medicaid plan, review rates every four years, and report findings to relevant legislative committees. This directly affects healthcare providers who treat Medicaid patients by increasing their reimbursement levels to align with Medicare standards.
