AB 207 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing the submission of certain information to the Commissioner of Insurance relating to mental health parity and addiction equity. (BDR 57-853)

AB 207 updates Nevada's rules for health insurers and health coverage organizations to report compliance with federal mental health parity and addiction equity laws (the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Act of 2008). It requires these reports to be submitted electronically via a national system (the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing) instead of other methods, and clarifies that only personally identifiable consumer information in the reports is confidential. Insurers must submit reports by October 1 annually, and the Commissioner of Insurance must compile and share an annual summary with the legislature and relevant state officials by December 31. The bill directly affects insurers providing health coverage in Nevada that must comply with federal parity requirements.

MODERATE
This bill updates how health insurers submit compliance reports regarding mental health and addiction coverage to the state insurance commissioner. It requires these reports to be filed electronically through a national system and changes the public status of the data, making most information public while protecting only personal details and verified trade secrets.
Scope change
The bill applies to the same insurers and organizations as before but changes the method of submission and the public accessibility of the resulting reports.
REQUIREMENT

Insurers must now submit data requests and compliance reports electronically via the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' system instead of using previous methods.

New standards are established to prevent the commissioner from hiding compliance data as a trade secret unless specific criteria are met, ensuring transparency.

DEFINITION

The bill clarifies that submitted information is a public record, except for personally identifiable consumer data and information officially designated as a trade secret.

TIMELINE

The commissioner is now required to compile an annual summary report of all submissions and send it to the governor, the patient protection commission, and the legislature.
