Establishes a program for family members to become complex care assistants and provide private duty nursing services to certain Medicaid enrollees.

The bill establishes a program allowing family members of Medicaid enrollees to become certified complex care assistants. These assistants can provide private duty nursing services to eligible enrollees, such as medically fragile children, under the supervision of a registered nurse. Reimbursement rates for these services are set based on the region and are subject to cost-of-living adjustments. The Department of Health must submit reports every two years detailing the program's impact, including hospitalization and emergency room visit data.
