The Health Care Cost Transparency Board made several recent changes to its advisory committee meetings:
- Separated the joint meetings of the Health Care Stakeholder Advisory Committee and the Data Issues Advisory Committee, based on your feedback, to ensure sufficient time for detailed discussion.
- Adjusted the meeting dates for the Nominating Committee and the Primary Care Advisory Committee.
Also in Washington, Apple Health (Medicaid) issued two provider updates:
- Effective July 1, the Health Care Authority (HCA) is publishing quarterly updates to many of the Apple Health billing guides. Billing guides are located on HCA's Provider billing guides and fee schedules webpage.
- HCA revised several vaccine billing guides, aligning its coverage policy with ESHB 2242, 2026 Regular Session to include the State Department of Health's immunization recommendations and guidance.
