This bill amends section 68-911 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to require the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to provide coverage and reimbursement for self-measure blood pressure monitoring services for all individuals eligible under the medical assistance program, effective January 1, 2026. The new coverage will include a validated blood pressure monitoring device, appropriately sized cuffs, patient education and training on the use of the device, and the collection of data reports for communication with healthcare providers regarding blood pressure readings and treatment plans.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 68-911, indicating a comprehensive update to the medical assistance coverage provisions. The inclusion of self-measure blood pressure monitoring services aims to enhance hypertension management and improve health outcomes for eligible recipients.
