SB2008

Mississippi SB2008 prohibits insurers from discriminating against accredited durable medical equipment suppliers and sets reimbursement rates.

Mississippi SB2008 creates a new section in the Mississippi Code to prohibit insurers, managed-care companies, or other payors from discriminating against accredited durable medical equipment suppliers. It mandates that these entities reimburse such suppliers at least at state Medicaid rates on a continuous monthly basis for the duration of a patient's valid prescription period. The act aims to ensure fair treatment and adequate reimbursement for durable medical equipment suppliers.
