HB 1250 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

revise the types of community-based providers for purposes of state funded services.

HB 1250 updates the list of community-based providers eligible for state-funded services, including Medicaid and other state programs. It adds a provision allowing the secretaries of the Department of Social Services or Human Services to approve new provider types beyond the current list (such as nursing homes, mental health centers, and federally qualified health centers). This change directly affects organizations providing care services that rely on state funding for operations. The key mechanism streamlines eligibility adjustments without requiring new legislation for each new provider type.
