An Act to stabilize adult day health services

This bill aims to stabilize funding for adult day health services in Massachusetts by updating how payment rates are set and ensuring participants can take time off without losing their spots. It requires the state secretary to establish payment rates every two years that cover the actual costs of running these programs, including rising wages, benefits, and rent. Additionally, the bill allows MassHealth to reimburse providers when members take up to 20 medically necessary days or 10 non-medical days off each year, protecting their access to care during absences.
