This bill amends section 68-908 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, concerning the administration of the Medical Assistance Act by the Department of Health and Human Services. It introduces new eligibility and reporting requirements, including a mandate for the department to provide the maximum amount of retroactive coverage for each medical assistance eligibility category as permitted by federal law. Additionally, the bill expands the annual summary and analysis that the department must prepare, requiring detailed reporting on various metrics related to applications, eligibility determinations, case closures, and community engagement requirements.

The bill also includes specific provisions for tracking community engagement compliance, such as the number of denied applications due to failure to meet these requirements and the status of exemptions. Furthermore, it mandates the inclusion of data on concurrent enrollment cases and the associated re-enrollment rates. The original section 68-908 is repealed, indicating that the new provisions will replace the previous legal language.
