Explanation

(This amendment provides $5.0 million the first year and $5.0 million the second year from the general fund and a like amount of federal Medicaid matching fund to allow providers of Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTF) services to be paid at Medicaid certified rates and also sets a floor for rates at the weighted statewide average. The amendment also allows for inflation adjustments subsequent to the last Medicaid audited cost reports in 2018 and permits the Department of Medical Assistance Services to negotiate a higher rate with both in-state and out-of-state providers when a child is at risk of being placed out-of-state. )
