SF 111: Relating to the provision of home visitation services for newborns under Medicaid managed care
Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill directs the department of human services (DHS) to contractually require a Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) to provide at least one evidence-based home visit for every newborn. The contract shall provide that if the home visit is deemed by the managed care organization not to be a reimbursable Medicaid covered service, the managed care organization shall provide the newborn home visit as a value-added service. The bill requires DHS to incorporate the evaluation of the provision of the required newborn home visit MCO contract performance measures and to track and analyze the resulting data to determine any improvements in health outcomes due to the provision of the service.
