Nevada AB31 would require Medicaid reimbursement for nonemergency secure behavioral health transport services.

Nevada AB31 amends Medicaid to require reimbursement for providers of nonemergency secure behavioral health transport services. The Director of the Department of Health and Human Services must include this requirement under Medicaid, covering the distance traveled between the provider's base location and the pick-up or drop-off site. Reimbursement rates increase by at least 15% for services in counties with populations under 100,000 and by at least 10% for all other services. The Director must also apply for necessary federal authority to implement these changes.
