2002 House Bill 5950

Introduced in the House

April 23, 2002

Introduced by Rep. Gerald Van Woerkom (R-91)

To require that if a person receiving home- or community-based services under a Medicaid waiver program no longer requires those services, the Department of Community Health shall provide the remainder of the personal expenditure for that person to another eligible person. Currently, the number of available “slots” under the Medicaid waiver are allocated on a full-year basis, and not pro-rated if less than a full year’s care is required.

Referred to the Committee on Health Policy
