Texas SB2457 aims to clarify Medicaid administration by limiting benefit exclusions and recovery of payments from providers.

Texas SB2457 amends the Human Resources Code to require the commission to prospectively determine whether to exclude or limit a Medicaid benefit, unless required by state or federal law. It also modifies the Government Code to prevent the office of the inspector general from recovering payments from Medicaid providers for waste or abuse discovered more than four years after the payment was made. The bill applies to payments for which recovery is sought after its effective date, regardless of when the payment was made.
