HB 1782 proposes to expand eligibility for Medicaid coverage for individuals in need of treatment for breast or cervical cancer. It increases the income eligibility threshold to include families at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. The bill mandates that the assistance be provided continuously while treatment is required and simplifies the provider enrollment process for medical assistance. It also includes a provision to certify presumptive eligibility for assistance without requiring a personal interview, to the extent allowed by federal law. Implementation of the bill may be delayed if federal waivers or authorizations are required.
