Montana HB585 revises Medicaid reimbursement rates for physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists.

The bill sets the conversion factor for state fiscal year 2026 at $39.56 and mandates an annual increase based on the consumer price index for medical care. The fee for covered services is determined by multiplying the conversion factor by the relative value unit for the service, adjusted by any applicable policy factors. The act is effective July 1, 2025.
