Abstract

Amends the duties of the office of the secretary of family and social services (office) concerning home and community based services waivers (waiver). Requires a waiver recipient to review the recipient's monthly statement and report errors or inconsistencies. Requires a provider of waiver services to provide a recipient and the recipient's care coordinator with certain billing statements. Establishes the home and community based services waiver waiting list assistance fund (fund) to provide individuals on a waiver waiting list with access to certain supports. Provides that when the office determines an individual is ineligible for Medicaid, the office shall provide the specific reason for determining the individual is ineligible. Provides that appropriations in the budget bill for Medicaid assistance that are budgeted for a waiver that remain unexpended and unencumbered at the close of the state fiscal year and that would otherwise lapse and be returned to the state general fund do not revert to the state general fund, but instead shall be deposited in the fund.
