This bill amends section 68-912 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, to allow managed care organizations participating in the medical assistance program to pay deductibles, cost sharing, or similar charges on behalf of Medicaid enrollees, in accordance with federal law. This change aims to enhance the financial support available to Medicaid recipients by enabling managed care organizations to cover certain out-of-pocket expenses that enrollees may face.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 68-912, thereby updating the legal framework governing the medical assistance program. The amendment reflects a shift towards greater flexibility for managed care organizations in assisting Medicaid enrollees with their financial responsibilities, potentially improving access to necessary medical services for vulnerable populations.
