Bill
SB 1112
SB 1112 modifies Texas Medicaid's fee and rate-setting procedures for healthcare provider reimbursement, potentially affecting provider participation and Medicaid patient access to care.
SB 1112 would modify how Texas determines fees, charges, and rates paid to healthcare providers under the Medicaid program. The bill is currently in early stages, having just been referred to the Health & Human Services Committee after initial filing in February 2025. The specific mechanisms for rate determination are not detailed in the available legislative summary.
Medicaid reimbursement rates directly affect provider participation in the program and, consequently, patient access to care. Changes to rate-setting methodology can impact healthcare provider budgets, workforce decisions, and whether rural or specialized providers continue serving Medicaid patients. Texas Medicaid serves approximately 4.5 million low-income residents, making rate policy significant for healthcare access statewide.
