SB 62 directs South Dakota to use general state funds to pay Medicaid providers higher reimbursement rates for the services they already provide to Medicaid patients. This increases what the state pays doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who treat low-income patients covered by Medicaid, without changing who qualifies for Medicaid or what services are covered.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
