Establishes minimum Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare reimbursement rate for pediatric special care nursing facilities.

This bill establishes a minimum daily reimbursement rate of $950 for pediatric special care nursing facilities (SCNFs) participating in New Jersey's Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare programs. It directly affects four facilities in New Jersey - Children’s Specialized Hospital (Mountainside and Toms River), Phoenix Center for Rehabilitation and Pediatrics, and Voorhees Pediatric Facility - that provide specialized long-term care to medically fragile children and youth up to age 21. To qualify for this rate, facilities must comply with state and federal requirements for licensure, patient safety, and care quality. The state will fund this increase through General Fund appropriations and requires the Department of Human Services to seek necessary federal approvals for reimbursement.
