Bill Summary
For legislation relative to reserving beds in nursing homes during certain leaves of absence. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to require the state's Medicaid program, MassHealth, to pay nursing facilities to reserve beds for residents who enter the hospital for a medical event, for up to 20 days per event. The bill also requires MassHealth to pay nursing facilities to reserve beds for residents who take a non-medical leave of absence, for up to 10 days per year. This helps ensure that nursing home residents can maintain their beds during temporary absences, rather than risking losing their placement in the facility.
