MEDICAID-BRAIN INJURY WAIVER

Summary

The bill adds a Brain Injury waiver that lets approved programs be paid for a range of services—case management, nursing, therapy, counseling and habilitation—for eligible individuals over age 21. It uses the same payment rates as the existing Home and Community‑Based Services waiver, preventing abrupt loss of care when beneficiaries age out. The change aims to keep adults with brain injuries in community settings instead of forcing moves to nursing homes or out‑of‑state providers.
