SB322

Appropriates funds for Medicaid home- and community-based services to achieve full funding and estimated payment increases.

This bill appropriates funds for Medicaid home- and community-based services to achieve full funding, including estimated payment increases. It aims to incentivize accepting and caring for Medicaid beneficiaries, especially those with complex needs, and to pay wages necessary for the recruitment and retention of staff across the long-term care continuum. The bill also considers updating the aging physical infrastructure of many of the State's facilities.
