Concerning prohibiting state reimbursement for certain services provided to certain individuals, and, in connection therewith, prohibiting reimbursement for a provider who, or entity or facility that, performs, assists, or refers a person to abortion or gender-affirming health-care services and prohibiting reimbursement for medical services to a person who does not satisfy certain citizenship or residency requirements.
Bill Summary:
The bill prohibits the department of health care policy and financing (HCPF) from reimbursing a:
- Health-care provider who, or entity or facility that, performs, assists in the performance of, or refers a person to abortion or gender-affirming health-care services; or
- A health-care provider, entity, or facility for providing medical services to a person who does not satisfy citizenship or residency requirements.
Under current law, HCPF administers the reproductive health-care program, the state medical assistance program, and the state children's basic health plan (collectively, "the programs") to certain individuals who are ineligible for the programs due to their immigration status. The bill repeals the programs and makes related conforming amendments.
