From the introduced text:
One Hundred Ninth Legislature - Second Session - 2026 Introducer's Statement of Intent LB1222 Chairperson: Senator Mike Jacobson Committee: Banking, Commerce and Insurance The following constitutes the reasons for this bill and the purposes which are sought to be accomplished thereby: LB 1222 requires insurance companies regulated by the State of Nebraska and the medical assistance program to cover all medically necessary diagnostic testing and treatment or medication approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration prescribed to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease or another related dementia and ensures these treatments are not subject to step therapy. In addition, LB 1222 addresses gaps in insurance coverage for individuals living with acquired brain injury, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, anoxic injury, and related neurological conditions. This bill seeks to reduce barriers to care, improve health outcomes, and ensure that Nebraskans with brain injury have access to appropriate, evidence-based treatment across the continuum of recovery.
