AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically its Division of Behavioral Health and Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care, to conduct a cost study of behavioral health care rates in Nebraska. This study will compare the actual costs of providing behavioral health services with the current rates paid for these services within the regional behavioral health system and the medical assistance program, which refers to government-funded health coverage for low-income individuals. The findings of this cost study are to be compiled into a report, with a preliminary version due by September 1, 2026, and a final report submitted to the Clerk of the Legislature by December 1, 2026. The bill also repeals the original section of law that previously addressed this matter.
