What it does

This bill requires the department of health and human services to implement a tiered rate reimbursement methodology for pediatric outpatient care under the Medicaid program based on patient acuity. The reimbursement rates may incorporate code modifiers to reflect the extended time and increased intensity required of a pediatric provider to address complex trauma, complexity of a child’s family environment, and other factors affecting a child as recommended by pediatric providers and advocates.
