Bill summary

Requires the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), in consultation with the NC Traumatic Brain Injury Council, to apply for a waiver from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to allow individuals who sustain traumatic brain injuries to access home and community based Medicaid services. Prohibits DHHS from submitting the application unless the General Assembly identifies a sufficient funding source to provide the match for the waiver from state appropriations earmarked for persons with traumatic brain injury.
