Bill overview
The Helping Communities with Better Support Act aims to increase transparency and expand access to home and community-based services (HCBS) for individuals receiving Medicaid and Medicare. Specifically, it modifies existing regulations to require states to publicly report data on wait times, service limitations, and the utilization of HCBS programs. The bill also provides guidance to states on offering interim care plans to ensure quicker access to services for eligible individuals, and allows for waivers to expand HCBS coverage to a broader range of individuals, including those not yet determined eligible.
