Rhode Island publishes only hospital-grain schedules: an outpatient (APC) schedule plus laboratory and radiology fee files. There is no professional physician fee schedule, and because APC amounts bundle facility costs, those rows are shown without a Medicare comparison.

Frequently asked questions
What does Rhode Island Medicaid pay for behavioral health services?
Rhode Island Medicaid publishes 16 behavioral health procedure rates effective 2026 on its fee-for-service schedule. The schedule covers psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluations, substance-use treatment, and community mental health services. The table on this page shows published rates for common procedures; the complete all-codes schedule is available as a CSV download with a ProviderSignal Rates subscription.
How do Rhode Island's behavioral health rates compare with Medicare?
Most behavioral health codes in this category have no direct national Medicare comparator (Medicare prices these services through different mechanisms), so a median comparison is not published here.
Do behavioral health services need prior authorization in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island does not publish prior-authorization indicators on this fee schedule, so PA requirements must be confirmed through the state's provider manual or portal. Absence of a flag here means "not published", never "no PA required".
Where do these rates come from?
Directly from Rhode Island's published Medicaid fee-for-service schedule (effective 2026), collected and normalized by ProviderSignal across all 50 states + DC. Rates are re-collected on a rolling schedule and this page updates automatically. Procedure descriptions are ProviderSignal's own plain-language labels or public-domain CMS text.
