Qué contiene
La explicación oficial está en inglés; todavía no hay resumen en palabras sencillas.
This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to modify the enrollment process for Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers. Currently, the enrollment process allows an applicant, based only on the positive results of a prescreening for eligibility for Medicaid, to request a waiver slot and, if a slot is not available, to be placed on an HCBS waiver waiting list. Once a waiver slot is available, the individual then undergoes a level of care (LOC) assessment and a financial review, at which point the applicant may be approved for or denied the waiver services based on the results of either the LOC assessment or financial review.
Lea la explicación completa
Under the bill, the enrollment process is modified to require that a new applicant for HCBS waiver services shall complete the eligibility prescreening, level of care assessment, and financial review, all prior to requesting a waiver slot or being placed on a waiver waiting list, to more definitively determine if the applicant is eligible for Medicaid and the type of waiver that will most appropriately address the individual’s needs. The bill requires DHS to evaluate the modified enrollment process to determine if it results in reduced numbers of individuals on HCBS waiver waiting lists and more appropriate provision of waiver services.
