Referred to the Committee on Families, Mental Health, and Human Services
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which would also require the Department of Community Health to promulgate rules to implement estate recovery programs for Medicaid recipients in long-term care programs who are 55 or older. The rules must include provisions waiving recovery based on undue hardship, for the attachment and enforcement of liens, and for waiving recovery based on cost-effectiveness. Since Medicaid is for people with few assets, estate recovery programs allow the state to seek reimbursement from assets in a person's estate.
