Bill > LB146

This bill expresses the Nebraska Legislature's intent to allocate funds to increase dental service reimbursement rates by 12.5% for the fiscal year 2025-26 under the Medical Assistance Act (Medicaid). The Medical Assistance Act is the state's Medicaid program, which provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families. By stating an intent to increase reimbursement rates, the bill signals a potential effort to improve dental service access and provider participation in the Medicaid program. The bill also includes an emergency clause, which means it would take effect immediately upon being passed and approved, allowing for quick implementation of the proposed funding intent. While the bill does not guarantee the appropriation, it demonstrates the Legislature's preliminary support for enhancing dental services within the state's Medicaid program.
