Massachusetts H788 ensures quality and accountability in senior care organizations by mandating reimbursement rates.

Massachusetts H788 amends Chapter 118E of the General Laws to ensure senior care organization quality and accountability. It requires MassHealth Senior Care Options programs to reimburse nursing homes for care and services provided to MassHealth members at rates no less than the Medicaid fee-for-service payments. This aims to ensure access to critical services and facilitate transitions from hospitals to nursing facilities.
