Existing law requires the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services to include under Medicaid coverage for services provided by behavior analysts, assistant behavior analysts and registered behavior technicians to recipients of Medicaid who are less than 27 years of age. Existing law requires the Director to biennially establish rates of reimbursement under Medicaid for such services that are provided on a fee-for-service basis, which must be comparable to rates of reimbursement paid by Medicaid programs in other states for those services. (NRS 422.27497) This bill eliminates this requirement, thereby requiring Medicaid to establish the rates of reimbursement for these services in the same manner as the rates of reimbursement for other services provided to recipients of Medicaid.
