Medical assistance hospice service coverage inclusion of room and board expansion provision

SF 272 expands Minnesota's medical assistance program to cover room and board costs for hospice care provided in community-based settings (like a patient's home or a community facility), where such costs are not already covered by other programs. This amendment applies directly to eligible medical assistance recipients receiving hospice services in these community settings, ensuring coverage for these essential expenses. The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes § 256B.0625, subdivision 22, to explicitly include room and board under hospice care coverage. It does not change existing rules about terminal illness treatment or apply to residential hospice facilities.
