Title 479, Chapter 5 of the Nebraska Administrative Code (NAC) – Health Checks and Treatment Services for Conditions Disclosed During Health Check (EPSDT). The regulations govern the health checks of children in the child welfare system who are covered by Medicaid. The regulations are proposed for REPEAL in their entirety as the regulations are duplicative of the Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care regulations found in Title 471 NAC 33.

Title 479, Chapter 6 of the Nebraska Administrative Code (NAC) – Extended Assistance for Former Department Wards. The regulations govern services provided to former state wards. The regulations are proposed for REPEAL in their entirety as the regulations govern a program that is no longer in existence for the former state ward population. Extended services for former state wards are now covered under the Bridge to Independence program and can be found in 395 NAC 10.
