AN ACT CONCERNING REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR MEDICAID PROVIDERS.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That chapter 319v of the general statutes be amended to require a managed care organization that has entered into a contract with the Department of Social Services to reimburse all providers at rates not less than the rates provided in the department's Medicaid fee schedule and that such reimbursement rates are retroactive to July, 2010.
Statement of Purpose:
To restore the reimbursable Medicaid floor amounts that were in place prior to the contract entered into between managed care organizations and the Department of Social Services in July, 2010 so that providers are not reimbursed at inadequate rates and discouraged from participating in the Medicaid program.
