Helping People Live Better Lives
About us
The Department of Health and Human Services team contributes to the lives and health of Nebraskans every day. Our mission, “Helping people live better lives,” provides the motivation to make a difference. Some DHHS programs impact all Nebraskans; for example, we educate and protect people through public health activities like ensuring clean and safe drinking water and we license and certify all health care professionals. We also touch our state’s most vulnerable citizens. Our services assist the elderly, low income and those with disabilities; we provide safety to abused and/or neglected children and vulnerable adults; and thousands of Nebraskans rely on the services of our ten 24-hour facilities. At every level of our organization, our goal is to be honest, trustworthy, competent and loyal. We strive to be transparent and accountable. We’ve established a set of Values and Core Competencies to guide how we work to achieve our mission and effectively serve Nebraskans. While this is a public forum, it's also a business-oriented one, so please keep your comments clean and on topic. In addition to keeping it clean, we ask that you follow our posting guidelines below. Comments not falling within the guidelines will be removed. -We do not allow graphic, obscene, explicit or racial comments or submissions nor do we allow comments that are abusive, hateful or intended to defame anyone or any organization. -We do not allow solicitations or advertisements.

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) town hall is today! For Medicaid providers, this town hall is an opportunity to give feedback and ask questions about EVV system changes. The state is updating the EVV system as a result of a recent State Auditor report showing a need for more stringent requirements to comply with federal regulations. We appreciate your time and energy through this transition. EVV allows providers to track service appointments using an application on a smartphone or other electronic device. This will help verify visit information and ensure individuals receive the care they need. https://lnkd.in/g_ccHCQ7
