Georgia SB428 directs the Department of Community Health to request a waiver from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to allow.
Georgia SB428 amends the state's medical assistance laws to direct the Department of Community Health to submit a waiver request to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The waiver aims to authorize Medicaid reimbursement for home and community-based services for recipients over 21 who need mental health services but do not require institutional care. If the waiver is approved, the department will implement the necessary steps to provide payment for these services using Medicaid funds. The bill also repeals any conflicting laws.
