Bill Summary

For legislation relative to intensive case management for clinically complex older adults. Elder Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill establishes an intensive case management program within the Massachusetts home care program. The program aims to support individuals who are current or prospective participants of the home care program but are determined to be "clinically complex," meaning they require sustained, in-depth case management beyond the standard level provided. The intensive case management is intended to help transition individuals into receiving home care services or to retain active enrollees experiencing challenges due to serious mental illness, complex family dynamics, or multiple medical/functional needs that put their participation at risk. The bill requires the Department of Elder Affairs to establish reimbursement rates for this intensive case management that reflect the level of expertise and time commitment required to support these qualifying individuals.
