SB131 adjusts how South Dakota pays Medicaid providers for their services, modifying reimbursement rates or payment methods to align with federal Medicaid requirements or state budgetary needs. The specific changes allow the state to update provider payments without needing separate legislative approval each time reimbursement adjustments are needed. This gives the state Department of Health more flexibility in managing Medicaid costs while ensuring healthcare providers continue serving low-income South Dakotans.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
