Revises eligibility criteria for adult medical day care services.
This bill revises eligibility requirements for Medicaid-covered adult medical day care services in New Jersey. To qualify, a Medicaid recipient must now need assistance with at least one activity of daily living (like dressing, bathing, or eating), have a physician's recommendation for the service, and provide current medical history and physical exam documentation. The bill defines "adult medical day care" as a community-based program offering health and social support for functionally or cognitively impaired adults during non-24-hour daily sessions. It requires the Human Services Commissioner to implement these changes through necessary state plan amendments. The policy aims to simplify access to community-based care, allowing more eligible individuals to receive services outside institutional settings.
