An Act relative to family members serving as caregivers

Summary

The bill changes state law so that family members who are legally responsible for a patient—such as parents, guardians, powers of attorney, and adult children—can be paid by MassHealth to provide home and community care. It also directs the health department to submit a state plan amendment or waiver to allow this change. This broadens who can serve as paid caregivers under Medicaid.
