This bill amends the Human Services Code of Pennsylvania, specifically addressing the payment for clinic services. It introduces a new section, Section 443.16, which abrogates certain regulatory requirements that restrict medical assistance payments to clinic services provided only within the physical confines of clinic facilities. The bill specifically targets provisions in 55 Pa. Code, namely Section 1153.14(6) and Section 1223.14(11), which relate to noncovered services, thereby expanding the scope of payment eligibility for these services.

By removing these limitations, the bill aims to enhance access to clinic services for individuals receiving medical assistance, allowing for greater flexibility in how and where these services can be delivered. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting a prompt response to the need for improved public assistance in healthcare.
