A bill to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide a standard definition of therapeutic family care services in Medicaid.

Family-Based Care Services Act This bill establishes a definition, under Medicaid, for "qualified therapeutic family care services." Specifically, such services are those provided for children younger than age 21 who need institution-level care but can instead be cared for in a community placement through a licensed and accredited program that: (1) provides children with certain structured daily activities, and (2) provides parents and caregivers with specialized training and consultation.
