Introduced Text

Nebraska LB268 would require the Department of Health and Human Services to increase provider rates for developmental disability services.

Nebraska LB268 amends the Medical Assistance Act to mandate the Department of Health and Human Services to increase reimbursement rates for developmental disability services. Starting from fiscal year 2025-26, the rates would rise to 150% of the state minimum wage. The bill also intends to allocate federal funds for these increased rates, adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. This act aims to ensure adequate compensation for providers of developmental disability services.
