Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1939 PA 280, entitled"The social welfare act,"(MCL 400.1 to 400.119b) by adding section 109u.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Social Welfare Act to require the state department of health and human services to provide medical assistance coverage for prescribed pediatric extended care, which is a specific type of comprehensive medical service defined in Part 219A of the Public Health Code. The bill is contingent upon the passage of a related bill (Senate Bill or House Bill 5252), meaning it will only take effect if that companion legislation is also enacted. By mandating coverage for prescribed pediatric extended care under the medical assistance program, the bill aims to expand healthcare access for children who may require specialized, ongoing medical treatment or support services. The proposed amendment would ensure that these specific pediatric care services are covered for eligible individuals under the state's medical assistance program, potentially improving healthcare outcomes for children with complex medical needs.
