Action Required
Immediately: Eligible provider types (physicians, APRNs, PAs, psychologists, dentists, behavioral health providers, and targeted case management) should review the billing guide on Nevada Medicaid's Billing Information page to obtain specific service codes and limitations. Update billing systems to include new service options for justice-involved youth 30 days pre- and post-release.
