Bill overview
This bill aims to expand dental insurance coverage in Nevada. Specifically, it requires certain health insurance policies, including Medicaid, to cover dental services provided by qualified dental hygienists without the direct supervision of a dentist, to the same extent as if provided by a dentist. The bill also codifies the services, conditions, and circumstances under which dental hygienists with a special endorsement can practice public health dental hygiene, and makes changes to ensure consistent application of these rules across different types of health plans.
