Overview

Bill A 7583 would authorize Medicaid coverage for the Complex Care Assistant Program. Introduced on April 1, 2025, the bill has been referred to the Health committee. The text provided does not include detailed provisions, but the core intent is to extend Medicaid coverage to services provided through the Complex Care Assistant Program.

What the bill would do

  • Authorize Medicaid coverage for services offered under the Complex Care Assistant Program.
  • The specific parameters of coverage (such as eligibility, service scope, provider qualifications, reimbursement rates, and administration) would be defined in the bill’s text or accompanying amendments. The summary available here notes only the broad authorization to cover these services.

Potential impact

  • Changes to Medicaid program operations, including potential provider enrollment, billing, and reimbursement processes for Complex Care Assistant services.

  • Expected effects on the workforce delivering complex care assistance, training requirements, and supervision standards (to be specified in the bill).

Who would be affected
