AB 340 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires health insurance to cover certain screenings, assessments and diagnoses. (BDR 57-351)

AB 340 requires Nevada health insurance plans (including Medicaid, employer-sponsored coverage, and individual plans) to cover screening, assessment, and diagnosis for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, and specific learning disabilities. This applies to individuals under 18 or up to age 22 if enrolled in high school, effective January 1, 2026. The bill mandates that all covered policies include this coverage without requiring insurers to reimburse schools for services delivered through schools. It applies to all regulated health insurance policies in Nevada, with enforcement through the Insurance Commissioner’s authority to suspend or revoke non-compliant plans.
