The purpose of this hearing is to receive comments on proposed changes to Title 471, Chapter 10 of the Nebraska Administrative Code (NAC) – Hospital Services. These regulations govern hospital services provided by enrolled providers to eligible clients under Nebraska’s Medicaid program. The proposed changes are not substantive and do not change the scope of work. The proposed changes remove duplicate statutory and inconsistent language in the regulations, restructured the regulatory chapter, and ensure compliance with the State Plan, other NAC chapters, federal law, and best practices. The rate at which providers are compensated was removed from these regulations to provide the Department with greater flexibility in the setting of rates.
