This bill (S 806) sets a specific start date for delivering traumatic brain injury (TBI) services under state waivers through managed care programs. It requires that such services for TBI patients (and those qualifying for nursing home diversion services) cannot be provided via managed care programs before January 1, 2027. The key provision delays the integration of these waiver services into managed care systems until 2027, ensuring continuity of care through existing waiver structures until that date. This directly affects TBI patients receiving state-funded waiver services who would otherwise transition to managed care earlier.
