The bill adds a new section, § 32.1-325.04, to the Code of Virginia that addresses the eligibility for medical assistance for individuals confined in state correctional facilities. It requires the Department to work with the Department of Corrections to identify individuals who are either enrolled in or may be eligible for medical assistance upon their release.

The bill also clarifies that no services can be provided while a person is still confined unless federal funds are available.
