Senate committee substitute adds the following content to the 1st edition.

Adds peer support services, substance abuse comprehensive outpatient treatment program services, and substance abuse intensive outpatient program services to the services that all capitated PHP contracts governed by Article 4 must cover under GS 108D-35(1). Makes organizational changes to organize the subdivision's provisions into sub-subdivisions. 

Additionally adds social setting detoxification services or clinically managed residential withdrawal services to the mandated coverage under GS 108D-35(1), effective upon the approval by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of NC Medicaid coverage for such services, on the effective date of the allowed coverage. Requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to notify the Revisor of Statutes of the effective date allowed by CMS upon receipt of approval. Repeals this provision if CMS approval is not granted by June 30, 2023.

Further amends GS 108D-35, organizing its provisions into subsections (a) and (b).

Revises the provision to instead set the reimbursement for durable medical equipment and supplies and orthotics and prosthetics under managed care to be the lesser of the supplier's usual and customary rate or the maximum allowable Medicaid fee-for-service rates for durable medical equipment and supplies and orthotics and prosthetics, applicable to the first three years of the initial standard benefit plan PHP capitated contracts.
