Continuous Skilled Nursing Quality Improvement Act of 2024

This bill redefines "private duty nursing services" under Medicaid as "continuous skilled nursing services" for complex-care patients requiring over 2 hours of daily nursing care. It mandates that such services must be provided by licensed nurses (registered or practical) and requires states to update Medicaid programs to reflect this change within 18 months. The bill also establishes a working group to develop national quality standards for these services, which must be published within one year, and updates Medicaid waiver services and quality measures to include these standards. These changes directly affect Medicaid beneficiaries receiving complex nursing care and state Medicaid programs administering these services.
