Better nursing care for Medicaid patients through new national standards.
This bill sets up national quality standards for ongoing nursing care for Medicaid patients. It renames these services and makes rules clearer for nurses and agencies providing this care. The goal is to improve care quality, especially for patients with complex health needs.
Today, Medicaid covers "private duty nursing services," but there are no national quality standards for this care, and rules for providers can be unclear. If this bill passes, these services would be renamed "continuous skilled nursing services," and national quality standards would be developed and published. This would also clarify that providers are not subject to Medicare home health agency rules and ensure these services are included in home and community-based care options.
