Bill Summary
Relative to family members serving as caregivers. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the definition of "family member" in MassHealth's home and community-based services programs 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. This would allow these legally liable family members to be paid as caregivers by MassHealth, which was previously prohibited. The bill also requires the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to file a state plan amendment or waiver application as necessary to implement this change.
