SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Medicaid-Buy-In. Requires the Board of Medical Assistance Services to prepare and seek a § 1115 waiver to implement one of the options for a Medicaid Buy-In program for up to 200 working families with disabilities. Such option must be designed to provide working persons with disabilities, who, because of their higher earnings, were not eligible for medical assistance services in Virginia, with access to coverage under the Virginia medical assistance services program. The provision for a Medicaid Buy-In must provide such working persons with disabilities access to this comprehensive health care when they meet the Board's established income and resource or other eligibility criteria. Any Medicaid Buy-In Program for which a waiver is granted shall not become effective until an appropriation of moneys effectuating such benefits is included in a general appropriation and passed during a regular session of the General Assembly.
