MEDICAID: Urges and requests the Louisiana Department of Health to develop a professional consulting nursing service code for reimbursement of certain services for individuals with developmental disabilities

This bill directs the Louisiana Department of Health to create a specific reimbursement code for professional consulting nursing services provided to individuals with developmental disabilities. The proposed code would allow healthcare providers to bill Medicaid for these specialized nursing consultations, ensuring that this care is financially supported. The text includes minor technical adjustments to clarify that the services apply to multiple nurses rather than a single provider. Ultimately, the legislation aims to formalize how Medicaid pays for expert nursing advice within the developmental disabilities support system.
