Nevada SB268 requires certain health insurance policies to cover dental services provided by dental hygienists with special endorsements.

Nevada SB268 amends various sections of Nevada Revised Statutes to require health insurance policies, health care plans, and Medicaid to cover dental services provided by dental hygienists who hold a special endorsement from the Board of Dental Examiners of Nevada. This coverage must be provided to the same extent as if the services were provided by a dentist supervising the hygienist. The bill also includes provisions for the administration of these changes and the oversight of health maintenance organizations.
