For legislation relative to liability for medical assistance paid. Elder Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 33 of Chapter 118E of the General Laws to allow the Commonwealth to seek reimbursement for medical assistance paid at any time after the assistance was purchased, not just at the time of purchase. This change expands the state's ability to recover costs for medical assistance provided to individuals, which is important for the financial sustainability of the state's Medicaid program.
