Bill Summary
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF INCREASING THE MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR COMMUNITY CARE FOSTER FAMILY HOMES, EXPANDED ADULT RESIDENTIAL CARE HOMES, AND OTHER TYPES OF HOME AND COMMUNITY BASED SERVICE CARE PROVIDERS AND SERVICES. .
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution requests the Department of Human Services to study the feasibility of increasing the Medicaid reimbursement rates for providers of Community Care Foster Family Homes (CCFFH), Expanded Adult Residential Care Homes (E-ARCH), and other Home and Community Based Services (HCBS). These programs offer alternatives to more expensive nursing home care for individuals needing nursing home-level assistance, providing benefits like reduced hospital stays and relief for families. The resolution highlights that current reimbursement rates for CCFFH and E-ARCH providers have not kept pace with the cost of care and are significantly lower than nursing home rates, leading some providers to decline Medicaid patients. The study will review the current payment model, assess the impact of increasing these rates, and the Department of Human Services is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by a specific date.
