Senate Bill No. 158, introduced by Senator Pressly, aims to amend and reenact R.S. 46:260.52 concerning the administration of the Medicaid managed care program in Louisiana. The bill specifies that the provisions of this part will not apply to any entity contracted with the Louisiana Department of Health to provide fiscal intermediary services in processing claims of any healthcare provider, replacing the previous language that referred specifically to "the health care providers."

The proposed law retains the existing requirements related to the Medicaid managed care program while making technical changes to clarify the exemptions. This amendment is set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
