AN ACT relating to the Medicaid home and community based waiver program.
to Health Services (H)
Summary
The measure would have the state apply to the federal Medicaid program to cover assisted‑living care for eligible seniors under the existing home‑and‑community waiver. Coverage is limited to people 65 or older who can walk, would likely need a nursing‑home, and live in a licensed assisted‑living community, and it does not pay for room and board. If the federal request is denied, the bill has no effect.
