Revises eligibility criteria for adult medical day care services.
This bill revises eligibility for Medicaid-covered adult medical day care services in New Jersey. It directly affects Medicaid enrollees with functional or cognitive impairments who need assistance with daily tasks. The key change simplifies requirements: individuals now only need to show they require help with at least one "activity of daily living" (like dressing, bathing, or eating), have a physician's recommendation, and provide updated medical history and a physical exam report. The bill defines "adult medical day care" as community-based daytime programs offering health and support services, aiming to make this community-based care more accessible instead of institutionalization.
