Requires Medicaid fee-for-service coverage of managed long term services and supports when beneficiary is pending enrollment in managed care organization.

This bill ensures continuous Medicaid coverage for long-term care services when beneficiaries are waiting to enroll in a managed care organization (MCO). It requires New Jersey's Medicaid program to cover eligible services - provided by assisted living residences, personal care homes, or adult family care providers - through the traditional "fee-for-service" system during the enrollment gap. Coverage begins on the date an individual is determined clinically and financially eligible for Medicaid long-term care services and ends when their MCO enrollment becomes effective. This policy, which codifies existing Medicaid practice, prevents payment interruptions for facilities serving Medicaid-eligible residents awaiting MCO enrollment.
