Summary
Nevada Medicaid updated multiple service manual chapters affecting mental health services, physician services, and nursing care fees. Key changes include new requirements for Assertive Community Treatment teams to have unique NPIs, FDA-approved Vagus Nerve Stimulation devices now reimbursed separately, and updated nursing care quality fees with new penalty language for late payments or incomplete reports.
Action Required
By May 1, 2026: Nevada Medicaid providers must ensure ACT teams have unique National Provider Identifiers (NPI) and update billing systems to bill VNS devices and replacement parts separately from implantation procedures. Review Chapter 700 for updated nursing care quality fee requirements and ensure timely payment and complete monthly reporting to avoid new fines.
