HB 1593 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Medicaid; provide coverage for neonatal circumcision procedures.

HB 1593 would have amended Mississippi's Medicaid program to explicitly cover neonatal circumcision procedures for eligible infants. This change would directly affect newborns whose families qualify for Medicaid, ensuring the procedure is included in standard covered services without additional cost-sharing. The bill's key provision is a simple addition to Medicaid coverage rules (Section 43-13-117), specifying that circumcision procedures would be paid for under the program. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
