Revises requirements relating to coverage under Medicaid for certain services provided by pharmacists. (BDR 38-218)

SB 118 requires Nevada's Medicaid program to cover services provided by pharmacists within their scope of practice - such as medication management - if those services are already covered when performed by other healthcare providers like doctors. It mandates that Medicaid reimburse pharmacists at the same rate as physicians, physician assistants, or advanced practice nurses for similar services and prohibits requiring prior authorization for these services when prior authorization isn't needed for the same services provided by other providers. This change ensures Medicaid beneficiaries can access pharmacist-provided care without additional cost barriers or administrative delays. The bill removes outdated coverage requirements for specific pharmacist services, aligning them with the new standard.
