Provide requirements for the Department of Health and Human Services for long-term care clients with special needs under the medical assistance program

Summary

The bill tells Nebraska’s health department that skilled nursing and nursing facility services for Medicaid recipients with complex, intensive needs cannot be placed in Medicaid managed‑care contracts. Those services must stay in fee‑for‑service Medicaid or another authorized system, and providers cannot be forced to join a managed‑care plan to serve these clients. The change aims to preserve continuity of care and specialized oversight for the most vulnerable long‑term care patients.
