Medicaid; provide coverage for neonatal circumcision procedures.
HB 722 would require Mississippi Medicaid to cover neonatal circumcision procedures for eligible infants. The bill amends Section 43-13-117 of the Mississippi Code to add circumcision explicitly to Medicaid's list of covered services. This directly affects newborns enrolled in Medicaid in Mississippi who undergo circumcision, ensuring the procedure is paid for without additional approval. The change would remove out-of-pocket costs for families relying on Medicaid for this standard medical service.
