Medicaid Reimbursement for Private Duty Nursing Services

Summary

SB 648 would have mandated that Florida Medicaid managed‑care plans pay licensed home‑health agencies 100 % of the local prevailing hourly rate for private duty nursing services provided in pediatric continuing‑care integrated community group homes. The bill targeted medically fragile children under 21 who receive care in these residential settings, aiming to prevent reimbursement cuts based on the number of Medicaid members sharing a dwelling. It failed to pass, dying in the Health Policy committee.
