What’s in it

This bill requires the department of health and human services to adopt rules related to ventilator-dependent recipients for purposes of the medical assistance program (Medicaid). The rules shall require ventilator services to be provided to a ventilator-dependent recipient based on the recipient’s need and not on the recipient’s age. The rules shall also permit any qualified provider to provide services to a ventilator-dependent recipient enrolled in Medicaid.
