State pays for forensic exams, with caps

Beginning July 1, 2025, the victims’ compensation fund pays providers for sexual assault exams and for strangulation exams after domestic violence. If the fund does not have enough money, the county where the crime happened pays the rest. Providers cannot bill the victim for these exam costs. The compensation officer can pay providers directly. The Nevada health department sets a yearly maximum per exam, and payments cannot go over that cap. You do not need to file a police report to get an exam.
