Nebraska Department of Education
Nebraska Department of Education's 2026-2027 Special Education Service Provider application is open through October 15, 2026. Approved providers may contract with Nebraska LEAs for IDEA-allowable IEP related services; NDE's current rate schedule includes Diagnostic Services (Physician Clinic Staffing) at $132. Dr. Miltie/N9+ fit is conditional on applicable Nebraska-licensed clinical personnel and an eligible contracted service model.
Required next actionConditional direct-vendor path. NDE currently requires an application to be in approved status before a school district can use IDEA funds to offset the related IEP service. For Service Code 1004, Diagnostic Services (Physician Clinic Staffing), the provider must supply Nebraska-licensed M.D. or D.O. personnel; NDE's FAQ also states an application cannot be submitted without certificated or licensed staff. Before Dr. Miltie/QC pursuit, verify named Nebraska-licensed physician personnel, register the correct provider entity, confirm the service model is IEP-related and contractable by an LEA, and preserve the NDE-approved $132 rate ceiling. Do not represent N9+ equipment as separately reimbursable absent written NDE/LEA confirmation. New providers may request application access after the school year has started if needed.
