IA HF2553

Establishes a pilot program within the Department of Health and Human Services to refurbish and recondition durable medical equipment (DME) purchased under Medicaid.

Requires HHS to coordinate with a local affiliate of a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves children and adults with disabilities, older adults, veterans, and their families.

Creates a tracking system for all DME provided to Medicaid recipients and mandates an informational campaign notifying recipients that equipment must be returned to the nonprofit for pickup when no longer needed due to death or health status change.

Refurbished or reconditioned equipment will be placed in the nonprofit's inventory and made available free of charge to other Medicaid recipients in need.

Requires annual reports to the General Assembly by October 31 detailing equipment purchased, collected, refurbished, and redistributed, along with program costs; the pilot program sunsets July 1, 2030.
