SB9

Nevada SB9 revises Medicaid provisions for insurers and health coverage providers.

Nevada SB9 amends existing law to align with federal requirements for Medicaid. It mandates that insurers and certain health coverage providers cannot consider Medicaid eligibility when determining coverage or payments. If Medicaid has already paid for healthcare, these providers must treat Medicaid as having a valid assignment of benefits. They must also provide information to the state agency upon request and cannot deny claims based on lack of prior authorization if the state agency authorized the service. The bill also sets time limits for submitting claims and enforcing rights.
