House Bill No. introduced by M. Caferro aims to establish an annual increase in the reimbursement rates for services covered by the Montana Medicaid Program. The bill mandates that the Department of Public Health and Human Services shall increase the reimbursement rate to providers by a minimum of 2% each year, ensuring that providers are compensated fairly for the services they deliver.
Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new section regarding the annual increase is intended to be integrated into Title 53, chapter 6, part 1 of the Montana Code Annotated. This integration ensures that the provisions of Title 53, chapter 6, part 1, will apply to the newly established reimbursement rate increase.
