Introduced by Sen. Gerald Van Woerkom (R) on February 18, 2003, to require that if a person receiving home- or community-based services under a Medicaid waiver program no longer requires those services, the Department of Community Health must provide the remainder of the expenditure for that person to another eligible person. Currently, the number of available “slots” under the Medicaid waiver are allocated on a full-year basis, and not pro-rated if less than a full year’s care is required.
Referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee on February 18, 2003.
