Revise medicaid buy-in program to include children with disabilities
This bill (LC 3802) expands Montana's Medicaid Buy-In Program to include children with disabilities who were previously ineligible due to asset limits. It removes the $30,000 resource threshold for children under 19 with disabilities seeking coverage through the program, aligning their eligibility criteria with those for adults with disabilities under Section 53-6-195. The change directly affects families of children with disabilities who exceed the prior asset limit but meet income requirements. The bill amends Montana Code Annotated sections 53-6-113 and 53-6-195 to implement this policy change, with funding provided through an appropriation.
