Calling all Massachusetts Family Leaders!! Your voice is needed to support the creation of a paid caregiver role for parents through MassHealth.
MassHealth is creating a Complex Care Assistant role as a means to allow parents to get paid for providing care to members who require more than two continuous hours of nursing services per day —the proposed regs and notice of hearing were recently posted. It will go live July 2023.
The public hearing is scheduled for Friday, January 20th at 12:30pm.
