1. SUMMARY:
This bill, titled the "Think Differently Database Act," directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish and periodically update a public website to provide information and resources for individuals with disabilities, their caregivers, and families. The website would include details on Medicaid eligibility criteria and covered services for individuals with disabilities, contact information for state Medicaid offices, and waiting times for home and community-based services waivers. The bill aims to promote awareness of available resources and improve access to information for the disability community. It also allows the Secretary to use an existing website as a model and exempts the implementation from the Paperwork Reduction Act.
