Bill overview
This bill updates Nevada’s requirements for sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing, particularly during pregnancy. It mandates that physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses also screen pregnant women for syphilis, expands testing requirements for medical facilities, and requires the use of rapid or point-of-care tests when available. The bill also ensures Medicaid covers these tests separately and establishes a process for disciplining facilities that fail to comply, while exempting certain rural clinics. It aims to improve early detection and treatment of STDs, especially syphilis, among pregnant women.
