West Virginia HB5568 mandates Medicaid rates for professional services in child-related proceedings, with higher rates allowed if services are not.

West Virginia HB5568 amends the Code to ensure Medicaid rates are paid for professional services rendered to children in legal proceedings. These services include treatment, therapy, counseling, and expert testimony. The Department of Human Services must pay upon service completion and report submission. If services are not provided within 30 days, the court can order higher rates. The obligated agency can object, leading to court findings of fact and conclusions of law.
