MACPAC is beginning to explore Medicaid coverage of assistive technology (AT) for adults using home- and community-based services (HCBS). AT in Medicaid refers to a wide range of items that help beneficiaries maintain or improve their functional capabilities. HCBS programs are the primary source of Medicaid coverage of AT for adults. MACPAC is identifying the statutory and regulatory framework that governs how states cover AT and assessing whether there are barriers to coverage of and access to AT that federal Medicaid policy could address. In this session, staff presented findings from a policy scan and literature review on Medicaid coverage of AT for adults.
