Senate Bill 1921 amends the Human Resources Code to provide for Medicaid reimbursement to a public or private provider of behavioral health services for the provision of behavioral health or physical health services to a Medicaid recipient before that recipient's enrollment with and receipt of services through a managed care organization. In addition, the bill provides for the following:
· Medicaid reimbursement to an authorized wound care education and training services provider; and
· the update, on request from a teaching hospital that provides behavioral health and physical health services, of the education adjustment factor used to calculate the medical education add‑on.
Implementation of a provision of this bill by the Health and Human Services Commission is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
