Interim study to examine the funding sources of skilled nursing facilities throughout Nebraska

This Legislative Resolution (LR 209) proposes an interim study to examine how skilled nursing facilities in Nebraska are funded. It directs the Health and Human Services Committee to investigate Medicaid reimbursement rates, other organizations involved in care, the impact of Nebraska’s Health Care Certificate of Need Act, and funding breakdowns for patient services. The study aims to analyze current funding structures and laws without making policy changes. The committee will report findings and recommendations to the Legislature after completing the study.
