Division of Medicaid; apply for waivers to eliminate waiting period for certain services.

This bill requires Mississippi's Medicaid program to apply for federal waivers to eliminate waiting lists for home and community-based care services. It specifically targets older adults and people with disabilities, including those with traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries. The bill directs Medicaid to use existing funds to provide these services immediately upon waiver approval, removing current delays in access. (Note: This bill died in committee in 2026 and did not become law.)
