Nevada's Medicaid Program- SB 307 PDF Print E-mail
Requires the Office of the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services to study issues relating to Medicaid
Senate Bill 307
Sponsored by: Senator Valerie Wiener
BILL STATUS: Approved by the Governor. Chapter 88. Effective May 18, 2009 for the purposes of accepting money pursuant to subsection 2 of section 1 and on July 1, 2009 for all other purposes.

Nevada Medicaid provides insurance for the most vulnerable of Nevada’s citizens. Senator Wiener decided it was about time a study was conducted to look at the state’s Medicaid funds to determine the long-term financial sustainability of the program. That is why she introduced Senate Bill 307, which, if it passes, would launch an intensive study of Nevada’s Medicaid system. The study will determine how Nevada can sustain the Medicaid program both in healthy and challenging times. It will also look at the rates that Medicaid charges in Nevada versus other states.
