What’s in it
AI summary People with permanent disabilities who receive Medicaid would keep their coverage for certain medical equipment. If a person's medical condition does not change significantly, the companies managing Medicaid must continue to approve the equipment they already use.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to Medicaid recipients with a permanent disability and the provision of durable medical equipment. The bill directs the department of health and human services to contractually require a Medicaid managed care organization to continue to approve coverage for durable medical equipment for which a Medicaid recipient has previously been approved, if the Medicaid recipient has a permanent disability as described in the bill and if there has been no significant change in the Medicaid recipient’s condition.
