Nevada SB300 revises Medicaid to mandate coverage for mental health services at federally-qualified health centers.

Nevada SB300 codifies existing Medicaid coverage for mental health services provided by psychiatrists, psychologists, and other licensed professionals at federally-qualified health centers. It also mandates coverage for services provided by mental health counselors, including those specializing in alcohol and drug counseling. The Department of Health and Human Services must apply for necessary waivers or amendments to the State Plan for Medicaid to secure federal funding for these services.
