Bill No.: <billno> Drafter: <drafterinit> Bill No.: HB0169 Drafter: LGC LSO No.: 14LSO-0419 Effective Date: 7/1/2014 Enrolled Act No.: HEA0058 Chapter No.: CH0045 Prime Sponsor: Representative Davison Catch Title: Medicaid waiver programs-case management system. Subject: Medicaid waiver programs. Summary/Major Elements: In 2013, the legislature passed Medicaid reform which required the department of health to provide for a case management system for the developmental disability waiver program that is free of conflicts of interest. This bill amends the conflict of interest requirement to ensure that the requirement will not be administered to affect any client case manager relationship existing and continuously maintained on or before July 1, 2014. The bill directs the department to apply for waivers or permissions to allow exceptions to federal conflict free case management definitions for rural areas.
