S 920 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes minimum Medicaid reimbursement rates for private duty nursing services.

This bill sets minimum Medicaid reimbursement rates for private duty nursing (PDN) services provided in home settings. It requires that registered nurses be reimbursed at least $60 per hour and licensed practical nurses at least $48 per hour, replacing current maximum rates of $40 and $28 respectively. The state must apply for federal waivers to implement these rates and adopt necessary rules within 180 days. This directly affects nurses and home health providers who deliver PDN services under New Jersey's Medicaid program.
