An Act establishing guardians as providers of medical care to support the rights of incapacitated persons

This bill allows professional guardians to be paid by the state to provide medical care for people who have lost the ability to make their own healthcare decisions. It defines guardians as eligible providers for medical assistance programs while explicitly excluding immediate family members like spouses and children from this role. The legislation also sets up a system to determine fair payment rates for these guardians based on local market costs and inflation, and it adds rules to prevent double payment by ensuring the state does not cover medical bills that should be paid by private health insurance. Additionally, the bill requires guardians to report any medical claims they submit to the court as part of their annual reporting.
