What’s in it

AI summary Every year on July 1, the state will automatically increase the amount of money paid to Medicaid providers by 2.5 percent. This change applies to the current payment rate for each specific provider. These increases will happen every year regardless of other inflation rules.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides for an annual automatic increase in the reimbursement rates for Medicaid providers. The bill provides that notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary regarding inflation factors or indexing of Medicaid provider reimbursement rates, and in addition to any other change in reimbursement rates specified for a fiscal year, the department of health and human services shall automatically increase the reimbursement rate of a Medicaid provider on July 1, annually, by applying a 2.5 percent increase to the specific provider’s current reimbursement rate.

Why it matters. Medicaid providers will receive an automatic 2.5 percent increase to their reimbursement rates every July 1. This annual increase applies to a provider's current rate regardless of other inflation adjustments or changes made in a given fiscal year.2
