PA HB 749: new version, House Amendment A00325
Summary
Pennsylvania Act No. 46 of 2025, signed November 12, 2025, amends the Commonwealth's Public Welfare Code to abrogate existing regulatory requirements governing payment for outpatient behavioral health services delivered within the physical confines of behavioral health clinic facilities. The act also addresses Medical Assistance eligibility, nonemergency medical transportation, subsidized child care copayments, SNAP benefit reporting, and transition to chip-enabled access cards. This item reflects House Amendment A00325 to PA HB 749.
What this may mean
The abrogation of regulatory requirements for payment for outpatient BH services within behavioral health clinic facilities directly affects Pennsylvania Medicaid-enrolled BH providers, removing or suspending state regulations that governed how those services are billed and reimbursed within clinic settings. Providers delivering outpatient behavioral health services under Pennsylvania Medical Assistance must assess which prior regulatory payment requirements no longer apply as of the act's effective date of November 12, 2025.
