AB 522 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to health care. (BDR 57-1135)

AB 522 requires Nevada health insurance plans (including Medicaid) to cover adult children of insured individuals until age 26, aligning with federal law. It expands preventive care coverage to include colorectal cancer screenings, breast cancer prevention medications for high-risk patients, and maternity/newborn care, while prohibiting higher deductibles or copays for these services. The bill directly affects insured Nevadans, particularly young adults, pregnant people, and those needing preventive screenings. Key provisions mandate specific coverage for recommended services from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and Health Resources and Services Administration, with no additional out-of-pocket costs for covered preventive care.
