Existing law requires the Department of Health and Human Services to administer the Medicaid program. (NRS 422.270) This bill requires the Department to submit to the United States Secretary of Health and Human Service a request to amend Medicaid to increase the rate of reimbursement for each service provided by certain providers of mental health care, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and practitioners of respiratory care. This bill requires the Department to request to increase the rates of reimbursement under Medicaid by an additional amount for services provided: (1) in a community setting; (2) in person in a county whose population is less than 100,000 (currently all counties other than Clark and Washoe Counties); and (3) in person in an area with a shortage of the type of provider of health care who provides that service.
