Medicaid rates for university clinic trainees

Beginning October 1, 2025, Nevada Medicaid creates a special billing category for mental health clinics run by Nevada universities or their faculty practice plans that also train students. The state sets all‑inclusive daily Medicaid payment rates for services given by trainees at these clinics. There is one rate for most trainees and a separate rate for trainees preparing to be psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners. The rates cover care in the clinic, by a mobile clinic, for people without stable housing, and by telehealth visits. The health department must seek federal approval and use accepted rate‑setting methods; payments apply only when federal matching funds are available.

Funding to launch Medicaid trainee payments

The law moves $116,672 in FY 2025–2026 and $138,481 in FY 2026–2027 to the Nevada Medicaid budget to carry out these changes. It also lets the state spend $211,213 in FY 2025–2026 and $206,127 in FY 2026–2027 from non‑General Fund sources for the same work. This funding supports set‑up of the new billing category and trainee payment rates.
