Bill > LB1132

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a state plan amendment to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to ensure coverage for long-acting injectable and extended-release medications. These medications, which must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are intended for individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness or a substance use disorder and would be administered in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, emergency departments, and inpatient facilities like state hospitals or psychiatric facilities. This action is part of an update to the state's Medical Assistance Act, which outlines the services covered by the state's Medicaid program, and will repeal the original section of law it amends.
