Provides for certain group home licensees to obtain Medicaid reimbursement for reservation of beds used by residents on therapeutic leave.

This bill requires group homes licensed for individuals with developmental disabilities to reserve a resident's bed during therapeutic leave (up to 12 days per year), preventing it from being occupied by others. The New Jersey Medicaid program will reimburse group home operators at the daily rate for maintaining these reserved beds. Therapeutic leave includes non-medical absences like family visits, camps, or temporary shelter stays, as documented in the resident's individualized plan. The bill ensures Medicaid coverage continues for these days while mandating specific record-keeping and documentation for verification.
