Nevada SB118 revises Medicaid coverage to include certain services provided by pharmacists without prior authorization or higher costs.

Nevada SB118 amends Medicaid coverage to include services provided by pharmacists, such as dispensing contraceptives, insertion or removal of contraceptive devices, contraceptive injections, and related education and counseling. The bill ensures that Medicaid does not limit coverage or reimbursement for these services compared to other healthcare providers. It also prohibits managed care organizations from requiring prior authorization for pharmacist-provided services if such authorization is not required for similar services provided by other healthcare providers.
