Nebraska would provide maximum federally allowed Medicaid coverage for earlier care

Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services would provide Medicaid coverage for earlier care. The requirement would apply to every Medicaid eligibility group. Federal law would limit how far back coverage could reach for each eligibility group.

Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services would report how Medicaid community engagement requirements affect applications and renewals. These provisions would report on participation requirements without imposing them. For people denied or removed for failing those requirements, the report would count returns to coverage within ninety days and twelve months. The report would describe implementation plans, affected recipients, and approvals and denials, including whether checks or exemptions required people to act. It would list information sources and contractors used to check compliance or exemptions, with links to current contracts. The annual report would go to the Governor and Legislature by December 1 each year for legislative and public review.

Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services would report overlapping enrollment and Medicaid patient charges. For people whose coverage ended because of overlapping enrollment, the report would give rates of return to coverage within ninety days and twelve months after coverage ended. The report would count overlapping enrollment cases and list contractors used to identify them, with links to their contracts. It would describe patient charges, including premiums and copays, their amounts, and the sources of payments collected. These details would appear in the annual report due to the Governor and Legislature by December 1 each year.
