This bill directs the ombudsman to appoint an assistant who shall be primarily responsible for investigating complaints relating to the Medicaid program, including both the Medicaid managed care and fee-for-service payment and delivery systems, and all Medicaid populations including the long-term services and supports population. The bill specifies the minimum areas of assistance and advocacy to be provided, directs the ombudsman to adopt administrative rules for administration of the bill, and directs the ombudsman to publish special reports and investigative reports as deemed necessary, and to include findings and recommendations related to the Medicaid program assistance and advocacy provided under the bill in the ombudsman’s annual report.

The bill also repeals the section of the Code that directs the office of long-term care ombudsman to provide assistance and advocacy services to members of the Medicaid long-term services and supports population since under the bill, the ombudsman will provide assistance and advocacy for both Medicaid managed care and fee-for-service payment and delivery systems and for all populations including the long-term services and supports population. The bill also requires the ombudsman and the department of human services to collaborate to develop a cost allocation plan, consistent with federal requirements, requesting Medicaid administrative funding to provide for the claiming of federal financial participation, by January 1, 2020, for ombudsman activities that are performed to assist with administration of the Medicaid program.
