Bill > LB774

This bill creates the Rural Health Transformation Program Fund, which will be managed by the Department of Health and Human Services. The fund will receive money from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a government agency that oversees Medicare and Medicaid programs, specifically for the Rural Health Transformation Program. The money in this fund is intended to help rural communities improve how they deliver healthcare, make it easier for people to access medical services, and ultimately lead to better health results for residents. Any money in the fund that is available for investment will be handled by the state investment officer according to specific state laws governing investments. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services is required to provide an annual report to the Legislature by December 15th detailing how the fund's money has been spent and what successes have been achieved through its use.
