Bill > A4738

This bill revises the eligibility criteria for adult medical day care services in New Jersey. It defines "activity of daily living" and "adult medical day care," and states that a Medicaid enrollee is eligible for adult medical day care services if they have a cognitive or memory deficit, require assistance or supervision with an activity of daily living, have a physician's recommendation, and provide a medical history and current physical examination report, including a neuropsychological exam. The bill also requires the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller's Medicaid Fraud Division to periodically audit these adult medical day care services. Finally, the bill authorizes the Commissioner of Human Services to apply for necessary state plan amendments or waivers, and to adopt rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the bill.
