What’s in it

This bill requires the department of health and human services to standardize and equalize the benefits available under the Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) intellectual disability waiver relative to the HCBS health and disability and the HCBS physical disability waivers to meet the needs of persons with an intellectual disability. The standardization and equalization shall, at a minimum, include eliminating the lifetime maximum cap for home and vehicle modifications under the HCBS intellectual disability waiver and instead establishing an annual maximum cap per waiver member at the same amount as the amount for the HCBS health and disability and HCBS physical disability waivers.
