HB 1085 Medical assistance services.

Introduced by: L. Preston Bryant, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Medical assistance services. Requires Virginia Medicaid to include in the state plan for medical assistance services a requirement that certificates of medical necessity (CMN) for durable medical equipment and any supporting verifiable documentation shall be signed, dated, and returned by the physician and in the durable medical equipment provider's possession within 60 days from the time the ordered durable medical equipment and supplies are first furnished by the provider. Presently, Medicaid regulations require the CMN to be completed and returned within 21 days. Allegedly, many physicians accomplish this task much later than 21 days.
