The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6098, aims to restore the Medicaid payment rates for medication administration to the levels established in 2016. This restoration is intended to ensure that healthcare providers who administer medications are adequately compensated for their services. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining high-quality care for patients receiving treatment at home, thereby supporting both healthcare providers and patients.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that specifically mandates the restoration of the 2016 Medicaid payment rates for medication administration. This legislative action is driven by the need to address compensation concerns for providers and to uphold the quality of care for patients reliant on home healthcare services.
