A bipartisan bill in the New Jersey Legislature aims to protect residents with disabilities from losing nursing care when they turn 21 — a problem families and disability advocates say has become routine under the state’s Medicaid managed-care system.
The proposal offers a potential legislative fix to issues uncovered in Hurdles to Health Care, an investigation by NorthJersey.com and The Record this year that found private insurance companies managing the state’s $22.5 billion-a-year Medicaid program often reduce or deny services like in-home nursing for people with complex medical needs.
