What’s in it

This bill provides that for FY 2026-2027, the department of health and human services (HHS) shall continue to reimburse home health agencies utilizing the Medicare low utilization payment adjustment (LUPA) methodology with state geographic wage adjustments, but shall adjust the labor and adjusted wage rate portions of the LUPA methodology to provide a minimum per hour wage of $15.20 for home health aides. The bill also appropriates a sufficient amount from the general fund of the state to HHS for FY 2026-2027 to provide the minimum hourly rate to home health aides under the Medicaid program as specified in the bill.
