This bill aims to update the existing law regarding medical assistance in Minnesota specifically in relation to hospice care services. It primarily proposes to expand the coverage provided by medical assistance to include the expenses for room and board for individuals receiving hospice services in a community-based setting, as long as these expenses aren't already covered under other provisions in the law.
