Read the official explanation
This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to conduct a reimbursement rate review to evaluate the reimbursement rates of long-term services and supports providers to determine rate adjustments that provide the living wage necessary for providers to live without reliance on public supports, access to care at the level of services and supports required by each individual Medicaid member to live and thrive in the member’s home and community, and an annual cost-of-living adjustment. The department shall report findings and recommendations from the rate review and include a corresponding budget request to the governor and the general assembly by November 1, 2021.
