Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Currently, only psychologists and psychiatrists can diagnose an intellectual disability to help someone qualify for certain Medicaid services. This change would allow other trained professionals, like pediatricians and nurse practitioners, to provide that diagnosis as well. These providers must use approved tools and have the right expertise to make the diagnosis. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

This bill relates to the diagnosis of an intellectual disability for the purposes of eligibility for the Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) intellectual disability waiver. The bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to amend Medicaid member eligibility criteria for the HCBS intellectual disability waiver to authorize, in addition to psychologists and psychiatrists, pediatricians, behavioral health providers, advanced practice registered nurses, advanced registered nurse practitioners, and other advanced practice providers to diagnose a person as having an intellectual disability. The authorized health provider must have the requisite knowledge, training, and expertise to diagnose an intellectual disability and must utilize an evidence-based diagnosis tool approved by HHS.
