Establishes minimum Medicaid reimbursement rates for private duty nursing services.

This bill establishes minimum Medicaid reimbursement rates for private duty nursing (PDN) services in New Jersey. It sets a $60 hourly rate for registered nurses and $48 for licensed practical nurses - significantly higher than the current maximum rates of $40 and $28, respectively. The bill directly affects Medicaid beneficiaries requiring home-based PDN care and the nursing providers who deliver these services. To implement the change, the Commissioner of Human Services must apply for federal waivers within 180 days of enactment to secure matching federal funding.
