This bill mandates the Department of Human Services to conduct a comprehensive reimbursement rate review for services provided under the Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Block Grant. The review aims to assess whether the current reimbursement rates are adequate by analyzing all cost components associated with delivering these services.
Additionally, the Department is required to report its progress and findings on the reimbursement rate review to both the Senate and House Committees on Public Health, Welfare, and Labor by December 31, 2023. This initiative seeks to ensure that funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention is sufficient to meet the needs of the community effectively.
