Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Nevada health plans must follow parity

Nevada health plans must follow the federal mental health parity law. This includes HMOs and managed care plans that serve Medicaid members. Mental health and substance use disorder benefits must be treated the same as medical and surgical benefits. This protects fair access to care.

Annual parity checks and public reports

Each July 1, the Insurance Commissioner sends insurers a data request on parity compliance. By October 1, insurers must file the data or their federal parity report using the NAIC electronic filing system (SERFF). The Commissioner may ask for more information. Most filings are public; the Commissioner must protect consumer personal data and true trade secrets. The Commissioner cannot hide whether a plan follows the law by calling it a trade secret, and doubts favor disclosure. By December 31, the Commissioner issues a statewide summary to the Patient Protection Commission, the Governor, and the Legislature’s staff, who send it to lawmakers or the interim health committee. The Commissioner may set rules and forms to run these requirements.
