Nevada SB353 revises Medicaid provisions to establish a specific billing category and reimbursement rate for mental health clinics.

Nevada SB353 revises provisions relating to Medicaid by establishing a specific billing category for clinics that provide mental health care to Medicaid enrollees. The bill also sets an all-inclusive per diem rate of reimbursement for visits to these clinics, including services provided at the clinic, through mobile clinics, to non-resident Medicaid recipients, and via telehealth. The Division of Health Care Financing and Policy must amend the Medicaid Services Manual to create this billing category and apply for necessary federal waivers or amendments.
