On March 20, 2020, the MLTSS Association in partnership with America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), wrote a letter commending legislators for the rapid bipartisan, and bicameral efforts to address the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States. It also included a range of policy proposals to support older adults and people with disabilities in any future legislation designed to respond to the growing pandemic. The purpose of these proposals is to support individuals with functional limitations, to promote the safety of the LTSS workforce and equip it to meet growing pressures, and to provide states and Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) with the flexibility to meet the demands of this emergency.
