56-234. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is hereby declared by the legislature that, in keeping with current state and national goals and best practice, increasing numbers of persons with developmental disabilities are being discharged to community facilities or private residences as an alternative to large public institutions licensed as intermediate care facilities for persons with intellectual disabilities. Such deinstitutionalization is highly desirable since it can lead to a fuller, richer and more independent life for persons with developmental disabilities. Recognizing that every individual has unique needs and differing abilities, the purpose of the following provisions is to clarify the department of health and welfare’s duties and responsibilities with respect to persons with developmental disabilities, who are or may become residents of the southwest Idaho treatment center, a public institution licensed for nine (9) or more beds as an intermediate care facility for persons with intellectual disabilities. The following provisions shall be liberally construed to accomplish these purposes.  History: [56-234, added 2011, ch. 101, sec. 1, p. 256; am. 2012, ch. 107, sec. 7, p. 293.]

2021 Idaho Code|Title 56 - PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND WELFARE|Chapter 2 - PUBLIC ASSISTANCE LAW|Section 56-251 - LEGISLATIVE INTENT.

56-251. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. (1) The legislature finds that the current federal medicaid law and regulations have not kept pace with modern health care management practices, create obstacles to quality care and impose unnecessary costs on the delivery of effective and efficient health care. The legislature believes that the state of Idaho must strive to balance efforts to contain medicaid costs, improve program quality and improve access to services. The legislature further believes that the state of Idaho could achieve improved health outcomes for medicaid participants by simplifying eligibility and developing health benefits for medicaid participants according to their health needs, including appropriate preventive and wellness services. (2) The legislature supports development, at a minimum, of the following health-need categories: (a) Low-Income Children and Working-Age Adults with No Special Health Needs. The broad policy goal for the medicaid program for low-income children and working-age adults with no special health needs is to achieve and maintain wellness by emphasizing prevention and by proactively managing health. Additional specific goals are: (i) To emphasize preventive care and wellness; (ii) To increase participant ability to make good health choices; and (iii) To strengthen the employer-based health insurance system. (b) Persons with Disabilities or Special Health Needs. The broad policy goal for the medicaid program for persons with disabilities or special health needs is to finance and deliver cost-effective individualized care. Additional specific goals are: (i) To emphasize preventive care and wellness; (ii) To empower individuals with disabilities to manage their own lives; (iii) To provide opportunities for employment for persons with disabilities; and (iv) To provide and to promote family-centered, community-based, coordinated care for children with special health care needs. (c) Persons with Medicare and Medicaid Coverage. The broad policy goal for the medicaid program for persons with medicare and medicaid coverage is to finance and deliver cost-effective individualized care which is integrated, to the greatest extent possible, with medicare coverage. Additional specific goals are: (i) To emphasize preventive care and wellness; (ii) To improve coordination between medicaid and medicare coverage; (iii) To increase nonpublic financing options for long-term care; and (iv) To ensure participants’ dignity and quality of life. (3) To the extent practicable, the department shall achieve savings and efficiencies through use of modern care management practices, in areas such as network management, cost-sharing, benefit design and premium assistance. (4) The department’s duty to implement these changes in accordance with the intent of the legislature is contingent upon federal approval.
