The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) will submit an amendment to the Medicaid State Plan based on the existing requirement to annually rebase pricing of physician codes.

Home Health Services;

Physician and Anesthesia Services;

Optometry Services;

Speech Pathology Services;

Audiology Services;

Chiropractic Services;

Eyeglasses Services;

Clinic Services;

Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy;

Rehabilitative Mental Health Services;

DMHF anticipates this update to the effective dates of service to be budget neutral.
