This bill mandates that the Commissioner of Health authorize licensed adult day health services facilities to offer services remotely to enrollees who cannot or prefer not to attend in-person sessions. The remote services must encompass all in-person offerings that can be safely and effectively delivered online. These services include daily wellness checks via telemedicine, access to various healthcare professionals, delivery of meals and activity packets, and transportation coordination for medical appointments. Additionally, remote services will be billed and reimbursed at the same rate as in-person services, provided that proper documentation is maintained and included in the enrollee's care plan.

The bill also stipulates that adult day health services facilities cannot exceed their authorized capacity when providing these services. Furthermore, the Commissioner of Human Services is tasked with applying for necessary state plan amendments or waivers to ensure federal financial participation for Medicaid expenditures related to these remote services. This legislation aims to maintain access to essential adult day health services, particularly in light of ongoing challenges such as health concerns and logistical barriers that prevent enrollees from attending in person.
