Makes revisions relating to health care. (BDR 23-343)
AB 349 sets maximum rates hospitals can charge for services to public employees covered by Nevada’s Public Employees’ Benefits Program. It caps in-network rates at 175% of Medicare rates and out-of-network rates at 160%, with potential increases if hospitals face Medicaid reimbursement-related financial hardship (requiring Interim Finance Committee approval). Local governments may opt into the program, and all Nevada hospitals must comply with federal transparency rules requiring public posting of standard charges. The bill aims to control healthcare costs for state-covered patients while maintaining hospital financial stability.
