Summary

New Hampshire has settled a six-year lawsuit brought by disabled people in the state's Choices for Independence Medicaid program, which provides in-home care to allow people with disabilities to avoid institutionalization. The settlement requires the state to analyze caregiver networks, ensure contingency plans for participants not receiving approved services, and review reimbursement rates that have made it difficult to hire caregivers.
