House Health and Human Services concurs in amended SB 72 on Medicaid presumptive eligibility (21‑0)
Summary
The committee amended SB 72 to allow DPHHS to seek CMS approval for presumptive Medicaid eligibility for certain home‑ and community‑based services and unanimously concurred once amended (21 ayes, 0 nays).
The House Health and Human Services Committee considered Senate Bill 72 (introduced by Senator Iacovitch by request of the Children, Families, Health and Human Services Interim Committee), a measure providing presumptive Medicaid eligibility for certain home‑ and community‑based services for people who are elderly or have physical disabilities. The committee adopted an amendment establishing a contingent effective date that permits the Department of Public Health and Human Services to apply for a demonstration waiver and state‑plan amendment immediately upon passage and to implement provisions only after receiving Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approval.
Vice Chair Buttrey moved that the committee concur with SB 72 as amended; after a roll‑call vote, the clerk recorded 21 ayes and 0 nays. The chair noted the bill will be carried by the House and the committee exited executive action.
