What This Bill Does
This bill addresses Medicaid treatment rates.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- makes permanent the budgeting mechanism under which reimbursement rates for applied behavior analysis may increase.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Current law includes a budgeting mechanism — set to expire after fiscal year 2026 — that allows Medicaid reimbursement rates for applied behavior analysis (ABA) services to increase when state revenues grow by 2% or more. This bill makes that mechanism permanent by removing the fiscal year 2025–2026 time limit and deleting the separate, more restrictive formula that was set to take over starting in fiscal year 2027.
