AN ACT CONCERNING MEDICAID COST SAVINGS.

HB 7189 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Social Services to review and study potential cost savings from expanding nurse delegation of medication administration in Medicaid-funded programs, specifically under Section 19a-492e of state law. The bill directs the Commissioner to examine how allowing nurses to delegate medication tasks could reduce costs within Medicaid programs. The Commissioner must submit a report to the relevant legislative committees by October 1, 2025, detailing the costs and benefits of such expansion. This bill focuses solely on studying potential savings, not implementing new policies.
