Eliminates 16 hour per 24-hour period coverage limit on private duty nursing services for certain Medicaid enrollees who are 21 years of age or older.

Summary

The bill removes the current 16‑hour daily cap on private duty nursing for Medicaid enrollees who are 21 years or older, allowing up to 24 hours when medically necessary. The change is triggered by a severity determination from the Commission of Human Services. It aims to give seriously ill adults more continuous nursing care under the state’s managed long‑term support services program.
