Medicaid; delete prohibition on participation in for psychiatric residential treatment facility in Desoto County.

HB 1408 removes a specific prohibition preventing a psychiatric residential treatment facility (PRTF) in DeSoto County from participating in Mississippi's Medicaid program. The bill amends Section 41-7-191 of state law to delete the restriction that blocked Medicaid coverage for this facility, which was established under a hospital's Certificate of Need. This change directly affects the PRTF in DeSoto County by allowing it to seek Medicaid reimbursement for services. The key mechanism is the deletion of the outdated prohibition from the existing law, enabling the facility to enroll in Medicaid without needing separate approval for this specific barrier.
