MEDICAID: Provides relative to the Local Healthcare Provider Participation Program (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG RV)
HB 558 amends the Local Healthcare Provider Participation Program by correcting a specific reference to a state code section from 1287.7(A) to 1248.7(A). This change appears to be a technical correction intended to align the bill with the correct legal citation for the program's administration. The legislation directly affects the state's healthcare provider participation framework but does not alter funding levels or eligibility criteria. It is a procedural amendment focused solely on fixing a citation error within the existing statutory language.
