Score 85PRIMARYregulatoryState legislature

Summary

Pennsylvania HB 749, enacted as Act No. 46 of 2025 and signed by the Governor on November 12, 2025, amends the Commonwealth's public welfare law to abrogate existing regulatory requirements governing payment for outpatient behavioral health services delivered within the physical confines of behavioral health clinic facilities. The law also modifies medical assistance eligibility provisions, nonemergency medical transportation services, and SNAP benefit reporting requirements. Senate Amendment A02129 was the final enrolled version that cleared both chambers and received gubernatorial approval.

What this may mean

The abrogation of payment regulations for outpatient behavioral health services within clinic facilities directly affects Pennsylvania Medicaid-enrolled behavioral health clinics and their managed care contractors, removing prior regulatory constraints on how those services are billed or reimbursed under the state Medicaid program. Changes to nonemergency medical transportation and medical assistance eligibility provisions create additional administrative and billing adjustments for affected providers and transportation brokers operating under Pennsylvania Medicaid. The law is effective as of its enactment date of November 12, 2025.
