Abstract:
In developing legislation to expand the availability of Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS), policymakers will need to consider a number of issues. In May of 2021, The Bipartisan Policy Center hosted a private roundtable discussion with experts, supplemented by individual interviews. Experts included state-level policymakers, consumer advocates, plans, and providers. This paper discusses the key challenges and opportunities identified by experts in expanding Medicaid HCBS, and outlines options for congressional consideration. It is important to note however, that some experts indicated that an expansion of HCBS should be done through the Medicare program, rather than Medicaid, and several proposals have been introduced to create a Medicare long-term care benefit.
