The bill amends Chapter 40-8 of the General Laws, titled "Medical Assistance," by adding a new section, 40-8-33. This section provides that licensed independent clinical social workers shall be able to enroll and bill Medicaid directly for authorized and/or covered services provided to adults with Medicaid fee-for-service coverage. Notwithstanding any general law, public law, special law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, Medicaid reimbursement will be available for services rendered by these social workers. The director is directed to develop and promulgate a fee schedule and any necessary rules or regulations required to implement the provisions of this section. The act will take effect upon passage.
