Bill overview
This bill requires Nevada Medicaid to cover medical respite care for people experiencing homelessness. Medical respite care provides crucial support services like case management, behavioral health care, and housing assistance to individuals who are homeless and unable to recover at home. To make this coverage available, the Department of Health and Human Services must apply for federal waivers and collaborate with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health to develop a model for providing this care. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2027, contingent upon federal approval.
