Bill overview
This bill removes a limit on the amount of private duty nursing services that certain Medicaid enrollees aged 21 and older can receive in a 24-hour period. Currently, the limit was 16 hours, but this legislation increases it to 24 hours if the individual’s medical needs require it, as determined by the Commission of Human Services. The bill also requires the state to seek federal approval to implement these changes and secure funding.
