Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill prohibits health insurance plans from placing limits on the quantity of home care nursing services they cover, meaning there will be no cap on how many services can be provided. It also defines "home care nursing services" as ongoing, individual, and continuous nursing care ordered by a medical professional, provided by a registered or licensed practical nurse, deemed medically necessary to maintain a patient's health due to complex medical needs or the requirement for sustained skilled nursing assessment, intervention, or monitoring, and necessary for a duration or frequency that cannot be met by less frequent, episodic nursing visits. This change aims to ensure that individuals needing consistent home nursing care receive the coverage they require, with specific provisions taking effect at different times in 2026.
