What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the Joint Committee on Finance's supplemental

appropriation by $500,000 in each fiscal year of the biennium for the purpose of

increasing reimbursement rates for physical health services under the Medical

Assistance program. Physical health services are nonpharmacologic interventions

used for treatment or mitigation of pain, including chiropractic methods and

physical therapy. To obtain the supplement, the Department of Health Services must

submit a proposal for the reimbursement rate increase to and receive approval of the

proposal from JCF.

The bill also includes acupuncture provided by a certified acupuncturist as a

reimbursable benefit under the Medical Assistance program. The bill requires DHS

to submit to the federal government any request for federal approval necessary to

provide the reimbursement for an acupuncture benefit under the Medical Assistance

program.
