Provide for implementation of a home and community-based services waiver, retroactive coverage of certain benefits, and reimbursement of doula services and change reporting requirements under the Medical Assistance Act, change provisions relating to the Nebraska Prenatal Plus Program, and provide limits for crisis assistance payments under the low-income home energy assistance program

Summary

The bill amends the Medical Assistance Act to stop the Department of Health and Human Services from filing a 1915(c) waiver that imposes a cost limit, cuts service hours, or narrows eligibility without the Legislature’s consent. It also inserts clear definitions for terms like nursing‑facility level of care, school‑based health center, and sponsoring facility, and repeals the older statutory language it replaces.
