An Act regarding Title XIX reimbursements for state colleges and universities

This bill directs Massachusetts' health and human services office to form a working group to study whether state colleges and universities can claim federal Medicaid (Title XIX) reimbursement for health services provided to students enrolled in MassHealth. It specifically examines feasibility for students of all ages, including those with disabilities, under- and over-22-year-olds, and those eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare. The group must report by April 2025 with financial estimates, challenges, opportunities, and a potential workplan for pursuing this funding. The bill does not change current policy but requires a study to determine if additional revenue could be secured.
