AI Summary

This bill requires MassHealth's home health care agency program to perform a biennial programmatic review of the Commonwealth's continuous skilled nursing (CSN) program, which serves medically complex children and adults. The review must include data on the number of enrollees, authorized hours, serviced hours, hospital admissions, and changes in average hourly earnings for registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs). If the percentage of unfilled service hours exceeds 20%, the Office of Medicaid must include a plan to reduce the unfilled hours in the report.
