SB1804 by Zaffirini (Relating to medical assistance reimbursement for wheeled mobility systems for recipients of medical assistance.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would authorize the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to provide medical assistance reimbursement for a wheeled mobility system, under certain conditions, and would require the executive commissioner of HHSC to adopt related rules. HHSC assumes that the cost to implement the bill would not be significant and could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
