Summary
Nevada Medicaid updated two chapters of their Operations Manual, changing the agency name from DHCFP to Nevada Medicaid and adding new penalty provisions. Chapter 1100 now includes fines for incomplete monthly reports, while Chapter 1300 adds a penalty waiver option for private hospitals that request payment plans before assessment due dates.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing teams. This administrative update affects provider tax obligations and reporting requirements rather than billing or claims processing. Nevada Medicaid providers should note the agency name change in correspondence and be aware of updated penalty structures for tax assessments.
