MN HF3488

Personal care assistants and Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) support workers would be authorized to administer medication injections to recipients, a task currently prohibited under Minnesota law

Medication injection delegation requires a registered nurse or advanced practice registered nurse to provide training, individualized instruction on the recipient's needs, and ongoing supervision by a registered nurse

Amends Minnesota Statutes sections 256B.0659 (personal care assistance) and 256B.85 (community first services and supports) to add medication injections to the list of covered health-related procedures and tasks

All four sections of the bill are effective upon federal approval of the Medicaid state plan amendments
