The sponsor's argument

Why Lea Webb says this is needed

Individuals with terminal illness frequently require both hospice care and long-term care supports, including personal care services, transpor- tation, and community-based assistance. Current Medicaid policy effec- tively forces individuals to choose between hospice care and access to managed long-tend care services, resulting in fragmented care, unmet needs, and avoidable hospitalizations. This bill removes that barrier by allowing individuals who elect hospice to enroll in managed long-term care plans and by establishing standards for coordinated care planning between hospice providers and managed long-term care plans. These changes will improve continuity of care, support patient dignity and autonomy, and promote more efficient use of Medicaid resources.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
