Allow Medicaid Home Health Services In Community

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 17-091 allows Medicaid home health services to be provided not just at a client’s home but also in other community settings. This change is made to align with new federal rules for Medicaid, making it easier for people on Medicaid to receive care where they feel most comfortable and supported. The bill has been signed into law, meaning that these changes are now official and will affect Medicaid recipients who need home health services.

Official Summary

Under current law, for some clients, home health services under the medicaid program may only be provided in the client's residence. The bill removes the location restriction for home health services to comply with changes to federal medicaid rules that allow for services to be delivered in the community as well as the residence. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
