This legislative bill aims to expand the medical assistance coverage for hospice care in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill proposes changes to include room and board costs for hospice care services in community-based settings, provided these costs are not covered by other statutes. Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals under 21 years old opting for hospice services will still be eligible for medical treatments related to their terminal condition without waiving their hospice care benefits. The bill has been introduced and assigned to the Committee on Health Finance and Policy for further consideration.
