Personal Assistance Oversight Committee

During the 2025 legislative session, House Bill 91 repealed several sections of Idaho Code that were considered outdated, obsolete, or duplicative of other authorities. This included the section of statute that governed the formation and responsibilities around the Personal Assistance Oversight Committee as a subcommittee of the Medical Advisory Committee.

The Bureau of Long Term Care will no longer facilitate the PAO subcommittee separately from the Medical Advisory Committee, but there are other ways to stay engaged with the department:

•    Listen in, submit public comment, or submit an application to join the Medicaid Advisory Committee. 
•    The department maintains a webpage with links to various news and informational resources: News and Notices | Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
•    Medicaid publishes a monthly provider newsletter. Visit the Gainwell Technologies provider portal to see current and past issues of this publication. MedicAide Newsletters - All
