Bill overview
This bill makes revisions to mental health care in Nevada, primarily by requiring Medicaid to cover rehabilitative residential mental health care. It defines this type of care as community-based, medically monitored residential treatment designed to help individuals with mental illness achieve stability and independence. The bill also establishes regulations for licensing and operating providers of this care, including background checks and inspections, and adds rehabilitative residential mental health care to the list of services the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman investigates. It also includes appropriations to support the implementation of these changes.
