Establishes minimum Medicaid reimbursement rates for private duty nursing services.
This bill sets minimum hourly Medicaid reimbursement rates for private duty nursing (PDN) services provided in home settings. It requires states to pay at least $60 per hour for registered nurses and $48 per hour for licensed practical nurses - significantly higher than the current maximum rates of $40 and $28. The law directs the state Health Commissioner to apply for federal approval to implement these rates within 180 days and adopt necessary rules. These changes directly affect licensed nurses providing home care and Medicaid beneficiaries relying on these services, aiming to ensure reimbursement covers actual service costs.
