Phototherapy lights individual pricing requirement

SF 2670 requires Minnesota's medical assistance program to individually price phototherapy lights (along with other specific medical equipment like customized tracheostomy tubes and electric patient lifts) instead of using bulk pricing. This change applies to providers billing under Minnesota's medical assistance program for services provided on or after July 1, 2015. The bill mandates that phototherapy lights be listed as individually priced items in reimbursement rates, excluding items covered under volume purchase contracts or specific programs like the preferred diabetic testing supply program. This directly affects medical suppliers and providers who bill for these items under Minnesota's health assistance programs. The requirement is part of an amendment to Minnesota Statutes section 256B.766, specifically under subdivision 9.
