IN RE:
SB983 by Van de Putte (Relating to home health care and hospice services under the state child health plan.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the child health plan (Children's Health Insurance Program) to provide home health care and hospice services as covered benefits. The Health and Human Services Commission indicates that home health care is currently a covered benefit and that the provision of hospice services would not result in a significant fiscal impact.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
