Individual pricing of phototherapy lights required, and technical changes made.
HF 1675 requires Minnesota's medical assistance programs to individually price phototherapy lights (devices used for medical treatments like neonatal jaundice) rather than applying a single rate to all such equipment. This change applies to services provided on or after July 1, 2015, and affects providers billing the state for these devices. The bill specifies that individual pricing applies to phototherapy lights as a distinct category of durable medical equipment, excluding items covered under volume purchase contracts or certain Medicare-related programs. This is a technical adjustment to Minnesota Statutes section 256B.766, focusing on reimbursement accuracy for this specific medical device.
