Bill Summary
For legislation relative to family members serving as caregivers. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the definition of "family member" for the purpose of home and community-based services funded by MassHealth (the Massachusetts Medicaid program). It proposes to include legally liable family members, such as biological, adoptive, foster, or step parents, legal guardians, powers of attorney, healthcare powers of attorney, and adult children of the care recipient, within the definition of "family member" for these services. This would allow these legally liable family members to serve as paid caregivers under MassHealth-funded home and community-based service programs.
