The bill mandates the Health Care Authority to establish an open electronic visit verification system that complies with federal law, specifically the 21st Century Cures Act. It introduces a new section to the Health Care Code that defines key terms such as "aggregator system," "electronic visit verification system," "medicaid recipient," and "provider." The bill requires the authority to adopt a centralized aggregator system that is interoperable with various electronic visit verification systems used by providers, ensuring it can collect and report necessary data to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

To implement this system, the authority is tasked with adopting an aggregator system that adheres to both state and federal regulations, providing guidance to service providers on acceptable electronic visit verification systems, and establishing rules for the administration of the section. These rules will cover standards for the aggregator system, procedures for monitoring and reporting data, data privacy protections, and requirements for providers. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
