HB107

Mississippi HB107 amends Medicaid reimbursement to ensure telehealth services provided by FQHCs, RHCs, and CMHCs are reimbursed at the same rate as.

Mississippi HB107 amends Section 43-13-117 of the Mississippi Code to ensure telehealth services provided by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), and Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) are reimbursed at the same rate as face-to-face encounters under Medicaid. This change applies to both originating and distant site telehealth services provided by these organizations. The bill aims to standardize reimbursement rates for telehealth services, aligning them with in-person care rates under the Medicaid prospective payment system.
