SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Medical assistance services; consumer-directed care; cash and counseling project waiver. Revises the provision relating to the Department of Medical Assistance Services and an application for a revision of or a new waiver for consumer-directed personal care services. The bill modifies the mandate for submission of the waiver to allow the Department to prepare the application "when appropriate and practicable" in order to provide time and opportunity for flexibility and consideration of various alternatives. In addition, the bill requires the Department of Medical Assistance Services, contingent on receiving (i) approval by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation of a Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation grant or (ii) a state appropriation for the contracting or hiring of a fiscal agent and appropriate staff to implement such project to develop and submit an application for a research and demonstration project pursuant to § 1115 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1315, for a Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation project to be implemented in two demonstration areas, i.e., Lynchburg and Winchester.
