Medicaid Recipient Cost Sharing

Effective July 1, 2024, South Dakota Medicaid is removing copays for recipients currently subject to cost-sharing requirements.

Providers should no longer request or attempt to collect the cost share from patients with Medicaid coverage. Medicaid reimbursement will no longer deduct a cost share.

This change does not impact the post-eligibility treatment of income for long-term care services or home and community based services, which is also sometimes referred to as a cost-share.
