Massachusetts S474 seeks to amend the frail elder waiver to include assisted living services for MassHealth members.

Massachusetts S474 aims to integrate assisted living services into the frail elder waiver for MassHealth members. The bill mandates the executive office of health and human services to submit applications for state plan amendments or waivers to establish assisted living services. It also requires a report on the status of these applications and their fiscal impact. Additionally, the bill tasks the executive office of aging with reporting on barriers to assisted living for MassHealth members, particularly in qualified census tracts or difficult development areas.
