Nebraska's Personal Assistance Services regulations (471 NAC ch. 15) govern how the Medicaid PAS service plan is developed, what it authorizes, and provider duties tied to it. The client must participate in developing the assessment and service plan; authorized services must relate directly to essential in-home tasks listed on the plan; the Department reviews the plan with the client at least every 12 months or when needs change; and providers must deliver only the services described on the plan and report changes in the client's condition.
