HB 1185: Assuring access to health care services for Medicaid beneficiaries by applying the Medicare rate floor to health care services furnished under Medicaid by health care providers

As a response to inadequate provider reimbursement rates in the state of Washington, requires Medicaid payment for health care services furnished by a license health care provider, with either a provider contract with the authority on a fee-for-service basis, or under a contract with a Medicaid managed care organization, to be at a rate not less than 100% of the payment rate that applies to those services and providers under Medicare.
