Bill overview
This bill aims to improve Medicaid coverage for health services provided to children at schools in Nevada. It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure local educational agencies and the Department of Education receive reimbursement for these services and to establish an incentive program for providers to offer them. The bill also creates a School Health Access Resource Center to assist providers and schools with Medicaid billing, and seeks to increase reimbursement rates for services offered through school-based health centers, potentially through federal authority.
