STATE HIGHLIGHTS
PENNSYLVANIA
The House Human Services Committee will hold a hearing on August 18 regarding the following measure:
HB 1939: This measure adjusts fee schedule rates for home and community-based services provided through intellectual disability and autism programs. Fee schedule rates will be increased annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
- If CPI decreases or remains unchanged, rates will stay the same.
- If CPI increases after a year of decrease, the increase will be adjusted to account for prior reductions.
- Rate increases are subject to available appropriated funds or these increases will be capped.
