LB 486 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require the Department of Health and Human Services to implement standards for reimbursement for certain service providers

This bill requires Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services to set a standard reimbursement rate for personal care service providers serving elderly and disabled Nebraskans under the "aged and disabled personal care services waiver" program. The rate must match the findings of a 2022 CBIZ Optumas study report and be adjusted at least every two years. It directly affects service providers who currently receive reimbursement through this waiver program, ensuring their payments align with the study's recommendations. The policy change aims to standardize payments without specifying new funding levels or eligibility changes.
