Minnesota HF1793 amends the reimbursement rates for services provided by birth centers in the medical assistance program. It sets the payment for facility services to the birth center at the lower of billed charges or 70 percent of the statewide average for a facility payment rate made to a hospital for an uncomplicated vaginal birth. It also mandates that the commissioner review current birth center reimbursements and develop revisions to ensure comprehensive maternal health services are reimbursed.
