Bill Text

Kentucky HB561 mandates Medicaid coverage for adult day health care and in-home attendant care services.

Kentucky HB561 requires the Department for Medicaid Services to include coverage for adult day health care services and in-home attendant care services in each 1915(c) waiver program. The bill mandates at least forty hours per week of each service, prohibits combining coverage limits, and requires the department to request federal authorization to implement these provisions. This aims to improve health outcomes for elderly Kentuckians by ensuring they can access necessary services and supports in their homes.
