  • 68-901

    The Division of Behavioral Health of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care of the Department of Health and Human Services shall conduct a cost study of behavioral health rates in Nebraska. The cost study shall compare the costs of providing services compared to current rates paid for such services in the regional behavioral health system and the medical assistance program. The report shall be completed no later than September 1, 2026, and a final report shall be submitted electronically to the Clerk of the Legislature on or before December 1, 2026.

  • 68-901

    Sections 68-901 to 68-9,111 and section 2 of this act shall be known and may be cited as the Medical Assistance Act. → Sections 68-901 to 68-9,111 shall be known and may be cited as the Medical Assistance Act.
