Existing law requires the Department of Health and Human Services to administer the Medicaid program. (NRS 422.270) Section 2 of this bill requires the Director of the Department to submit to the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services a request to include under Medicaid to provide rates of reimbursement greater than or equal to 82 percent of the cost for: (1) a vagus nerve stimulation therapy device prescribed for the treatment of epilepsy; and (2) any replacement part for such a device. Section 2 also clarifies that the rates of reimbursement established for the cost of a vagus nerve stimulation therapy device and any replacement part for such a device must be separate from and in addition to the rates of reimbursement for medical care necessary for the implantation or repair of such a device or the replacement of a part for the device. Section 1 of this bill makes an appropriation to and authorizes expenditures by the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy of the Department for certain costs associated with making the increases to rates of reimbursement under Medicaid required by section 2.
