AN ACT CONCERNING REDUCED MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENTS FOR MULTIPLE HOME HEALTH VISITS TO THE SAME HOUSING FACILITY.

This bill changes Medicaid reimbursement rules for behavioral health providers. It requires the state to pay the full reimbursement rate for each home health visit to a building housing multiple residents, rather than reducing the rate for subsequent visits to the same building by the same provider. The policy directly affects behavioral health practitioners and Medicaid program administrators. The key change eliminates the current practice of lowering payments for repeated visits to multi-resident facilities, ensuring consistent funding per visit.
