Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions concerning the supportive living facilities program, provides that sites for the operation of the program shall be selected by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services based upon criteria that may include the need for services in a geographic area, the availability of funding, the site's ability to meet the standards, and a need to increase access for Medicaid enrollees who need an alternative to nursing home care. Requires the Department to determine need utilizing the most recently available statewide report every 3 years, and to also consider the occupancy rates, vacancies, and waiting lists in surrounding operational supportive living program sites, and public comments. Provides that based on need, the Department shall make the final determination to establish geographic areas utilizing county or zip code-based geographic areas within a rate setting region as the basis for opening a competitive application process. Contains provisions on the analysis and other information required in the statewide report; primary market areas for supportive living program sites; and other matters. Effective immediately.
