HB5774

Illinois HB5774 amends Medicaid payment rates for federally qualified health centers (FQHC) and FQHC Look-Alikes.

Illinois HB5774 amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code to require the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to seek a State Plan amendment from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services regarding a prospective cost-reimbursement methodology for services provided by FQHCs. The bill sets rates without cost caps, productivity standards, or statewide averages, and ensures FQHCs are fully paid under Medicaid, regardless of managed care organization agreements.
