Provide for implementation of a home and community-based services waiver, retroactive coverage of certain benefits, and reimbursement of doula services and change reporting requirements under the Medical Assistance Act, change provisions relating to the Nebraska Prenatal Plus Program, and provide limits for crisis assistance payments under the low-income home energy assistance program

This bill requires Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services to obtain legislative approval before applying for or amending a federal 1915(c) Medicaid waiver that would introduce individual cost limits, reduce total service hours, or narrow eligibility criteria. It also defines "nursing facility level of care" as a Medicaid recipient needing assistance with two or more daily activities in a community setting, provided the waiver program remains cost-neutral. These changes directly affect Medicaid recipients, providers, and the Department of Health and Human Services by regulating waiver modifications and clarifying service standards. The bill harmonizes existing definitions within Nebraska's Medical Assistance Act to ensure consistency in Medicaid program administration.
