Texas HB4667 eliminates the need for prior authorization or precertification for repairing complex rehabilitation technology equipment under Medicaid.

Texas HB4667 amends the Human Resources Code to establish a reimbursement methodology for the repair of complex rehabilitation technology equipment prescribed to Medicaid recipients. The bill also ensures that medical assistance reimbursement for these repairs does not require prior authorization or precertification from recipients or health care providers. The executive commissioner is tasked with setting the reimbursement rules. If federal waivers or authorizations are needed for implementation, state agencies can request them and delay implementation until they are granted.
