Bill overview
The ChiPACC Act of 2020 aims to give states the option to provide Medicaid coverage for a ‘Children’s Program of All-inclusive Coordinated Care’ (ChiPACC) for children with life-threatening illnesses. This program would offer comprehensive, integrated palliative and curative care, expanding beyond traditional hospice services and addressing gaps in existing Medicaid coverage. The bill seeks to streamline the process for states to offer this care by allowing them to do so through a state plan amendment rather than lengthy waiver applications. It builds on existing state-led initiatives and aims to improve outcomes for children and families facing serious illness.
