(NRS 422.270) Section 1.2 of this bill requires the Director of the Department to include under Medicaid coverage for the administration of certain medication to treat opioid use disorder. Section 1.1 of this bill defines "medication assisted treatment" for that purpose.

Section 1.6 of this bill makes a conforming change to require the Director to administer the provisions of sections 1.1 and 1.2 in the same manner as the provisions of existing law governing Medicaid. Section 1.7 of this bill requires the transfer of certain money and authorizes the expenditure of certain money to carry out the provisions of section 1.2. The policies of the Department of Health and Human Services provide that Medicaid will provide coverage of services provided by a psychiatrist, psychologist, advanced practice registered nurse, marriage and family therapist or licensed clinical social worker at a federally-qualified health center. …
