Section 161-I:3-a Authorization of Legally Responsible Relative. - New Hampshire Statutes

The department may authorize reimbursement to a parent who provides personal care to a minor child with special health care needs residing at home. Such reimbursement shall occur only when the department determines that the needs of the child, the unavailability of appropriate providers or suitable alternative care services, and cost efficiencies make utilization of a parent for the provision of such services necessary and appropriate. Reimbursement shall be limited to care that is medically necessary due to specific health needs and shall not be made for care generally expected and provided by parents to a child of similar age and developmental stage. The department shall not authorize reimbursement to a parent until a plan and rules adopted pursuant to RSA 541-A, are reviewed and approved by the oversight committee on health and human services, established in RSA 126-A:13.
