The bill amends the Human Services Code, specifically the act of June 13, 1967, to introduce a new section that abrogates certain regulatory requirements regarding payment for clinic services. The new section, designated as Section 443.16, specifically removes limitations on medical assistance payments for clinic services that are provided outside the physical confines of clinic facilities. This change aims to enhance access to necessary medical services by allowing payments for services rendered in various settings, rather than being restricted to traditional clinic environments.

The bill identifies specific provisions in the Pennsylvania Code that are abrogated, including Section 1153.14(6) and Section 1223.14(11), both of which relate to noncovered services. By eliminating these restrictions, the bill seeks to broaden the scope of coverage for clinic services under medical assistance, thereby improving the overall public welfare framework in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
