Bill overview
This bill makes significant revisions to Nevada’s healthcare system. It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a biennial assessment of the state’s health care workforce needs, identifying shortages and prioritizing licensure for providers in underserved areas. The bill also establishes new requirements for electronic health information exchange, mandates value-based payments for Medicaid, and creates the Nevada Health Authority to oversee health care functions. Furthermore, it addresses emergency medical care by licensing independent centers and establishing a program to raise awareness of these facilities, and it modifies prior authorization processes for health insurance claims.
