Summary

Provides that if a physician has entered into a provider agreement with the office of Medicaid policy and planning (office) or a managed care organization and the physician, subject to the provider agreement, provides emergency medical services to individuals participating in the state Medicaid program, the office or the managed care organization shall promptly compensate the physician for the services in accordance with an autopay list published by the office. Prohibits any delay in or denial of compensation to the physician unless the cause of the delay or denial is specifically provided for in: (1) the Medicaid managed care law; (2) an administrative rule adopted under the Medicaid managed care law; (3) the federal administrative rules on Medicaid managed care; or (4) the provider agreement. States that a home health agency is not required to conduct a tuberculosis test on a job applicant before the individual has contact with a patient. Repeals a statute that requires certain personal services agency employees or agents to complete a tuberculosis test. Authorizes the establishment of home health agency cooperative agreements. (A similar law enacted in 2022 expired on July 1, 2023.) Makes statements and findings of the general assembly concerning home health agency cooperative agreements. Specifies that a home health agency may contract directly or indirectly through a network of home health agencies. Allows a pharmacist to administer an immunization that is recommended by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to a group of individuals under a drug order, under a prescription, or according to a protocol approved by a physician if certain conditions are met.

Removes a provision allowing a pharmacist to administer pneumonia immunizations to individuals who are at least 50 years of age.
