Summary
Nevada Medicaid is adding a new benefit for Behavioral Health Training Clinic (BHTC) services through accredited universities, effective December 31, 2025. A new Medicaid Services Manual Chapter 4500 has been created to define service models, eligible providers, covered services, documentation requirements, and billing information for this new benefit.
Action Required
By December 31, 2025: Billing teams at practices affiliated with accredited universities providing behavioral health training should review MSM Chapter 4500 to understand new BHTC service billing requirements, documentation standards, and authorization processes. Non-university practices are unlikely to be affected by this change.
