AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 111 of the General Laws to require individuals under the age of 22 who need long-term inpatient skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to be certified by the Department's Multi-Disciplinary Medical Review Team before being admitted to a nursing home. However, individuals under the age of 22 who need short-term inpatient skilled nursing and rehabilitation services (up to 1 year) may be admitted to a nursing home upon referral from their primary care physician or hospital discharge team without prior certification. The bill also amends Chapter 118E to align with these changes. The purpose of the bill is to ensure appropriate placement and care for individuals under 22 who require nursing home-level services.
