Bill > SJR2

This resolution requires the Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance to develop and present a comprehensive report to the Delaware General Assembly by January 1, 2026, regarding insurance coverage for Community Health Workers (CHWs). Community Health Workers are defined as frontline public health workers who are trusted community members, culturally sensitive, and skilled at guiding individuals and families through health and social service systems. The resolution mandates that the report include a draft State plan amendment or waiver and be shared with the Governor, the Director and Librarian of the Division of Research of Legislative Council, and the Delaware Public Archives. The resolution emphasizes the importance of CHWs in promoting community health, addressing social drivers of health, and achieving better health equity for Delaware populations. By requiring this report, the resolution aims to explore and potentially expand Medicaid coverage for CHW services, recognizing their unique role in supporting community health and well-being.
