13-C. Policy Update: Medicaid Support for Community-Based Services

Many older Americans want to remain in their homes and communities as they age. Home and community-based services (HCBS) play a significant role in meeting this consumer expectation. Medicaid support for HCBS is essential to making these services more widely available to those who need them. This session will explore how the Medicaid program supports HCBS for health-related social needs and how that support positions LeadingAge members to expand their impact in local communities. Hear from policymakers and HCBS experts about trends in service expansion and new opportunities in Medicaid-supported service lines, including home care, adult day, the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and personal care. Don’t miss this opportunity to get the latest information about Medicaid policy innovation across states.
