 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Medicaid AIDS and HIV Amendments of 1991 - Amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to allow each State to provide Medicaid coverage of HIV-related services for individuals who have the HIV virus and an abnormally low immune function that places them at risk of contracting opportunistic diseases or life-threatening conditions related to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and whose income and resources do not exceed the maximum amounts allowed under the State Medicaid program for disabled individuals.

Allows States to provide Medicaid home and community-based services to children who have the HIV virus and an abnormally low immune function for which medical intervention is indicated to prevent hospitalization. Applies the same income and resource eligibility standards as would apply if such children were hospitalized.

Includes as federally-qualified health centers an entity receiving a grant under the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act of 1990 for the provision of early intervention services to individuals who have the HIV virus.

Authorizes States to provide Medicaid coverage of the early intervention services provided by federally qualified health centers under such grant program to low-income individuals who have the HIV virus.

Authorizes a Health and Human Services residential care facility demonstration program for certain Medicaid-eligible individuals who have the HIV virus and need housing or attendant care to allow them to remain at home.
