The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 120, aims to amend section 17b-340 of the general statutes by suspending the inflation cost limitation on direct care costs for Medicaid-funded intermediate care facilities. This change is intended to alleviate financial pressures faced by these facilities, which provide essential care to individuals with disabilities and other health needs. By removing the inflation cost limitations, the bill seeks to ensure that intermediate care facilities can adequately cover the rising costs associated with providing direct care services. This legislative action is part of a broader effort to support the sustainability and operational viability of these facilities within the Medicaid program.
