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 existing 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 is deemed severe enough by the Commissioner of Human Services could receive up to 24 hours of care in a single day. The legislation also directs the state health official to seek necessary federal approvals and update regulations to allow for this increased coverage.
