More Medicaid help for opioid treatment

Beginning March 1, 2026, Nevada Medicaid covers the administration of FDA‑approved medicines for opioid use disorder. Coverage applies where federal funding is available, and the state will seek needed federal approvals. To fund this, starting July 1, 2025 the state moves $121,684 (FY 2025‑26) and $382,542 (FY 2026‑27) into Medicaid from a health access account. It also authorizes $545,735 (FY 2025‑26) and $1,686,686 (FY 2026‑27) from non‑General Fund sources.

More Medicaid mental health at clinics

Beginning October 1, 2025, Nevada Medicaid covers more behavioral health care at federally qualified health centers and in integrated care models, where federal funding is available. Services by psychiatrists, psychologists, advanced practice nurses, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, counselors, and licensed alcohol and drug counselors are covered. Master’s‑level interns can provide covered care when directly supervised by a provider in the same field. Funding starts July 1, 2025: $77,943 (FY 2025‑26) and $104,981 (FY 2026‑27) from the State General Fund, plus $179,425 and $240,812 from non‑General Fund sources. Any unspent General Fund money must revert by September 18, 2026 and September 17, 2027.
