AB470

Nevada AB470 revises prior authorization requirements for medical and dental care under health insurance plans.

Nevada AB470 revises provisions relating to prior authorization for medical or dental care under health insurance plans. It mandates that insurers file their procedures for obtaining prior authorization with the Commissioner of Insurance for approval. Insurers must respond to requests for prior authorization within 48 hours for non-urgent care and 24 hours for urgent care. The bill prohibits insurers from requiring prior authorization for covered emergency services and from denying coverage for medically necessary emergency services.
