AI Summary
This bill establishes an intensive case management program, subject to appropriation, to support individuals who are current or prospective participants of the home care program and require sustained, in-depth case management that exceeds the level provided under the regular home care program. The intensive case management is intended to help individuals transition into or retain active enrollment in the home care program due to factors such as serious mental illness, complex family dynamics, or multiple medical or functional needs that put the individual's ability to be served at risk. The bill requires the department to establish reimbursement rates for the intensive case management that reflect the expertise and time commitment required to successfully support qualifying individuals' enrollment and ongoing participation in the home care program.
