SB2122

Expand Medicaid eligibility for disabled children living at home based on functional need.

Mississippi SB2122 amends Medicaid eligibility to include certain disabled children living at home based on functional need rather than medical complexity. This expansion covers children with developmental disabilities, severe autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, communication disability, or other functional limitations. The Division of Medicaid determines eligibility for these children, ensuring they receive necessary care without requiring institutionalization. The bill aims to provide broader access to essential healthcare services for these children.
