Senate Bill 1150 amends the Government Code to require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to develop and implement a provider protection plan that is designed to reduce administrative burdens placed on providers participating in a Medicaid managed care model or arrangement implemented under the Medicaid managed care program and to ensure efficiency in provider enrollment and reimbursement. The bill requires HHSC to incorporate the measures identified in the provider protection plan into each contract between a managed care organization and HHSC for the provision of health care services to recipients and establishes the elements required to be provided by the plan.
