The primary bill sponsor, Representative Feret, introduced House Bill 26-1235 to the House Health and Human Services Committee. The bill makes several changes to the state’s Medicaid program in the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) including: collecting certain data from home- and community-based service agencies serving more than 100 members related to direct care service cost to administrative cost ratios; and providing notice to outpatient therapy providers at least six months before implementing multiple procedure payment reductions. It also makes changes to transportation providers, community engagement requirements, opioid treatment providers, and state medical assistance and services advisory council.
