SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Medical assistance services; consumer-directed care. Requires the Department of Medical Assistance Services to prepare and submit to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as soon as such waiver template shall become available, an application for a new waiver for home- and community-based services that is cost effective and expands consumer-directed care to the maximum extent allowable under federal law and regulation while protecting the health and safety of recipients. Such waiver shall provide for a fiscal agent to handle tax issues and payment of personal attendants on the part of recipients. The waiver application shall provide recipients with flexible choices and personal independence in so far as possible and shall include provisions for family members to deliver the covered services when consistent with and not prohibited by federal law and regulation.
