House Bill 3295 amends the Government Code to postpone the date on which the pilot programs for improving Medicaid service delivery models with regard to individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability must conclude and to change the date on which the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is required to transition the provision of Medicaid benefits to such an individual receiving long-term services and supports under the Texas home living waiver program to another delivery model. The bill also requires HHSC to identify and evaluate barriers preventing certain Medicaid waiver program recipients from choosing the consumer directed services option and directs HHSC to conduct studies concerning a community attendant registry and the provision of dental services to adults with disabilities under the Medicaid program.
