Requires Medicaid fee-for-service coverage of managed long term services and supports when beneficiary is pending enrollment in managed care organization.

This bill requires New Jersey's Medicaid program to provide traditional fee-for-service coverage for long-term care services (like those from assisted living residences or personal care homes) to beneficiaries who are eligible for Medicaid's managed long-term services program but are still waiting to enroll in a managed care organization (MCO). Coverage begins when eligibility is confirmed and ends when MCO enrollment starts, preventing service gaps during the transition. It applies directly to Medicaid beneficiaries in this pending enrollment phase. The bill codifies an existing Medicaid policy, ensuring consistent coverage without creating new benefits.
