AI Summary
This bill repeals existing provisions for managed long-term care (MLTC) plans for Medicaid recipients and establishes new options for long-term care, including fully integrated plans like the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) and Medicaid Advantage Plus (MAP) plans. The bill aims to transition Medicaid recipients requiring long-term care services for over 120 days into these fully capitated plans or a fee-for-service model coordinated by a "care coordination entity," which is an approved organization that helps manage and coordinate services for enrollees. This transition will not occur until the Commissioner of Health is satisfied that all necessary planning is complete and federal approvals are obtained, with a target implementation date of April 1, 2028. The bill also includes provisions for stakeholder engagement to ensure a smooth transition for providers and recipients, and mandates reports on the implementation's impact on enrollees, service utilization, and continuity of care.
