The bill amends Section 40-8-26 of the General Laws in Chapter 40-8, which pertains to "Medical Assistance," specifically focusing on community health centers. It requires that reimbursement for medical, dental, and behavioral health services provided at community health centers equal the lesser of the actual cost, based on Medicaid cost reports, or one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the median rate for all community health centers within Rhode Island. The bill emphasizes the need for community health centers to comply with reporting requirements. It takes effect upon passage.
