A 4559 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Eliminates 16 hour per 24-hour period coverage limit on private duty nursing services for certain Medicaid enrollees who are 21 years of age or older.

This bill removes the 16-hour daily limit on private duty nursing services for Medicaid recipients in New Jersey who are 21 years of age or older. Under the new rules, eligible individuals whose medical condition requires it can receive up to 24 hours of nursing care in a single day, as determined by the state's Commission of Human Services. The legislation also directs the Commissioner of Human Services to seek necessary federal approvals and update regulations to implement these changes.
