Establishes minimum Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare pediatric special care nursing facility reimbursement rates.

This bill establishes a minimum daily reimbursement rate of $950 for pediatric special care nursing facilities that participate in New Jersey's Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare programs. The funding applies specifically to facilities providing specialized long-term care and rehabilitation services to children and youth up to age 21 who require nursing care beyond conventional facilities. To qualify for this rate, facilities must comply with state and federal laws regarding licensure, patient safety, and quality of care. The bill also authorizes the Department of Human Services to implement necessary rules and seek federal approvals to ensure the funding can be used.
