SB 118

This bill modifies Medicaid requirements to ensure broader coverage for services provided by pharmacists in Nevada. Specifically, it mandates that Medicaid must include coverage for pharmacist services within their scope of practice, matching reimbursement rates to those paid to physicians, physician assistants, or advanced practice registered nurses for similar services. The bill also prohibits Medicaid or managed care organizations from requiring prior authorization for these pharmacist services unless already required for other providers. Finally, it removes specific coverage requirements for certain pharmacist services, streamlining the process.
