Montana lawmakers are considering a bill to fast-track Medicaid coverage for older adults who need assistance to stay in their homes or communities. The proposal aims to provide in-home and community-based care while awaiting final approval for Medicaid coverage. This presumptive eligibility system would allow access to services such as meal preparation and shower assistance. The goal is to avoid delays in care and reduce reliance on expensive hospital or nursing home care. The proposal is part of a nationwide trend to provide more support for seniors and individuals with disabilities through Medicaid.
