Summary
Nevada Medicaid approved a State Plan Amendment effective January 1, 2025, allowing Local Education Agencies to bill Medicaid for behavioral health services provided by School Counselors, School Social Workers, and School Psychologists with Department of Education endorsements. This expands reimbursable school health services for qualified professionals working within their scope of practice.
Action Required
By May 2, 2025: School-based billing teams and LEA staff should attend the Q&A session at 11:30 AM to learn how to begin billing for services provided by School Counselors, Social Workers, and Psychologists. Prepare questions about billing processes, required documentation, and implementation steps for these newly covered services.
