This bill establishes a specialized health home program specifically designed for Medicaid-eligible adults aged 18 and older who have a neurological, muscular, or neuromuscular condition and a mobility impairment. The program will provide enhanced healthcare services through specialized health homes, which will be reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis at rates determined by the commissioner of health. The bill authorizes the commissioner to apply for federal waivers or state plan amendments to support the program's objectives and requires specialized health homes to document and demonstrate the effective use of distributed funds. Additionally, the commissioner is tasked with establishing operational standards and regulations for these specialized health homes. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law, with the commissioner of health directed to prepare regulations and take necessary implementation actions immediately upon enactment.
