Rhode Island H7591 mandates that all out-of-state foster care placement facilities must register with Medicaid as a provider.

Rhode Island H7591 requires all out-of-state foster care placement facilities to be registered with the state medical assistance program as a Medicaid provider. The director may waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis if there is an emergency need for placement of a child in foster care at a facility that is not a registered Medicaid provider, and no Medicaid provider is available. This act would take effect upon passage.
