This bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services in Nebraska to establish a standard reimbursement rate for service providers under the aged and disabled personal care services waiver. The reimbursement rate must align with the findings of a rate study report conducted by CBIZ Optumas, dated December 7, 2022. Additionally, the bill stipulates that this rate should be reviewed and potentially adjusted at least once every two years to ensure it remains current and effective.

The legislation aims to enhance the financial stability of service providers by ensuring they receive fair and consistent reimbursement for their services. By implementing these measures, the bill seeks to improve the quality of care for aged and disabled individuals who rely on personal care services in Nebraska.
