Division of Medicaid; apply for waivers to eliminate waiting period for certain services.

HB 467 requires Mississippi's Division of Medicaid to seek federal waivers to eliminate waiting periods for home and community-based services. It directly affects three groups: aged/disabled individuals, physically disabled residents, and those with traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries. The bill directs Medicaid to use existing state and federal funds to immediately provide these services once waivers are approved, removing current delays in access. This change applies to services already authorized under Medicaid, not new benefits. The legislation focuses on streamlining access for vulnerable populations without creating new financial obligations.
