What A 2220 does, verified January 11, 2026
The bill aims to ensure that payments for home and community-based long-term care services are fair and meet the minimum wage requirements. Insurers participating in the medical assistance program must include the minimum wage in their contracts, which will be passed through to service providers. Existing contracts must be amended at least 90 days prior to the effective date of any law or regulation impacting wages. Insurers cannot use these funds to supplant payments for existing services under the Medicaid program. The changes will apply to policies and contracts issued, renewed, modified, or amended on or after the effective date of the law.
