Beginning January 1, 2026, Nevada drug purchasers cannot pay above the federal maximum fair price for covered drugs. The same ceiling limits reimbursement requests for drugs delivered, dispensed, or administered in Nevada. These limits apply only during each drug’s federal price applicability period and exclude pharmacy dispensing fees. Federal employee health coverage providers, ERISA health coverage providers, and Taft-Hartley trusts are exempt unless they choose to participate. They must notify the Director in writing by January 1 of each participating year. Contracts entered before January 1, 2026, remain exempt, but renewals and extensions are covered. The state can adopt rules to carry out the cap, with preparation authorized upon passage and approval. The cap may lower purchasing costs, but it does not guarantee lower patient bills.
Beginning January 1, 2026, people harmed by violations of the drug price or reimbursement limits can bring consumer-fraud lawsuits. Those who win may recover proven damages, court-ordered relief, court costs, and reasonable lawyer fees. These lawsuits are not treated as contract claims, and recovery is not guaranteed. Each payment or reimbursement request above the limit counts as a separate deceptive trade practice. State officials can also seek to suspend a violator’s right to do business in Nevada or dissolve a company. Violating related court orders can bring civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation. A court finding of willful deception can bring penalties up to $15,000 per violation.
Beginning January 1, 2026, drug price or reimbursement violations are exempt from the specified criminal penalties for deceptive trade practices. This exemption protects violators from those criminal penalties, not from all legal consequences. The price limits, consumer-fraud lawsuits, and civil enforcement still apply.
