Provides for certain pediatric NJ FamilyCare beneficiaries to maintain private duty nursing hours when transitioning to Managed Long Term Services and Supports; codifies and expands appeals provisions for private duty nursing services.

This bill ensures that children transitioning from the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program to the Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) program will continue to receive at least the same number of private duty nursing hours they were previously eligible for. It also allows unused nursing hours to be carried over week to week and requires managed care organizations to continue benefits during an appeal process for reduced services. The Department of Human Services will also review past transitions to see if beneficiaries are eligible for more nursing hours.
