A 4165 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes tuition reimbursement program for certain advanced practice nurses who provide home health care services.

This bill creates a tuition reimbursement program for New Jersey residents who are certified advanced practice nurses (APNs) providing home health care services at patients' homes. To qualify, nurses must have specialized home health training, apply within one year of certification, and agree to work full-time in New Jersey for one to four years. The program reimburses 25% of the lowest tuition year for each completed year of service (capped at 100% total reimbursement over four years), with participants required to maintain certification, avoid charging excessive fees to Medicare patients, and not discriminate based on payment ability. The reimbursement is tied directly to service, meaning funds are provided in exchange for fulfilling the agreed-upon home health care work period.
