A 2209 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes commission to study impact of certain Medicaid reimbursement rate change on nursing homes.

This bill establishes a nine-member commission to study how a 2017 Medicaid reimbursement rate increase for personal care services affected nursing homes in New Jersey. The commission will analyze impacts on nursing home operations, staffing compliance, financial health, resident costs, and closures since the 2017 law (amended in 2019), while also reviewing state funding sources for the rate change. It requires the commission to gather data from nursing homes and submit a report to the governor and legislature within 12 months. The study focuses solely on evaluating past policy effects, not proposing new laws.
