Nebraska LB153 mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a state plan amendment to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for postpartum coverage under the Children's Health Insurance Program. This amendment aims to provide at least six months of postpartum coverage for mothers whose children are covered under the unborn child option. The covered services will mirror those provided to pregnant women under Medicaid. The bill also specifies that any amount exceeding six hundred thousand dollars will be funded by the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund.
