DEPARTMENT OF DISABILITY AND AGING This bill requires the commissioner of disability and aging to develop guidelines for service providers for hiring a qualified family member as a family care giver. The guidelines must be disseminated to medicaid-participating service provider agencies annually and published on the department of disability and aging's website. This bill prohibits the department from prohibiting otherwise qualified individuals from employment as a family care giver at a service provider agency based on the following criteria:  A family relation between a family care giver and individual with a disability receiving services.  Place of residence of the family care giver or individual with a disability receiving services.  The age of the individual with a disability receiving services.  The parental or spousal relationship between the family care giver and the individual with a disability receiving services.  The guardianship or conservatorship status of the family care giver unless explicitly prohibited in guardianship or conservatorship documents.  The waiver program in which the individual with a disability receiving services is enrolled or participating that includes all waiver programs operating under the division of TennCare and waiver authorities granted by the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services including employment and community first choices; choices; the Katie Beckett program; the self-determination waiver; the comprehensive aggregate cap waiver; and the statewide waiver.  The separate and additional employment of an unrelated care giver also providing services to an individual with a disability through employment with a medicaid-participating service provider agency. This bill also prohibits the department from (i) preventing or dissuading medicaid-participating service provider agencies from hiring family care givers to provide long-term services and support or home and community based services to an individual with a disability receiving services; or (ii) reducing or otherwise altering the type or extent of benefits granted to an individual with a disability based on the familial status of the individual providing the services without engaging in the person-centered planning process. This bill prohibits a family care giver from being compensated for care provided in excess of the amount of long-term supports and services or home and community based services or benefits designated to an individual with a disability within the person receiving support's person-centered practice. TENNCARE This bill requires the director of TennCare to develop guidelines for providers for hiring a qualified family member as a family care giver. The guidelines must be disseminated to medicaid-participating provider agencies annually and published on the bureau of TennCare's website. This bill places the same prohibitions on the bureau of TennCare, and any provider that delivers TennCare services under contract with the bureau, that it does on the department of disability and aging as described above. A family care giver must not be compensated for care provided in excess of the amount of long-term services and supports or home and community based services or benefits designated to an individual with a disability within the person receiving support's person-centered practice. RULEMAKING This bill authorizes the department of disability and aging and the director of TennCare to promulgate rules to effectuate this bill.
