PEDIATRIC PALLIATIVE CARE MEDICAID BENEFIT

Summary

The Senate memorial asks the state Health Care Authority to create a Medicaid benefit for children with serious or life‑limiting illnesses, providing coordinated palliative services without requiring families to elect hospice. It would cover pain and symptom management, psychosocial support, care coordination and 24‑hour nurse advice, and be developed with input from providers and families.
