Rural Medicaid: Changes are Coming!
In 2024 Nevada Medicaid surveyed rural Nevadans on how to improve services and found that rural members want:
- Easier appointments
- More preventative health options
- More doctors and health care providers
Medicaid responded. New health plans are coming to rural Nevada.
The plans will be held to appointment standards, be rewarded for offering preventative health services that improve outcomes, and use their resources to bring more health care options to rural areas.
Starting this fall, some rural Nevadans will need to keep an eye out for letters from the health plans.
For more information, take a look at this new flyer. Feel free to share it. You can also visit this website. If you have any questions, please write to [email protected].
What is Managed Care?
Managed Care health plans are like a team of doctors, nurses, and coaches on your side. The health plans share the latest information with you to pick the best players (doctors and treatments). They also get advice from experts to make sure everything is done at the right time and place for the best outcome for your health. You will have a big team to work with to keep you healthy and in the game.
Who Will Be Affected?
All Medicaid members except:
- Children in Foster Care
- Youth in Juvenile Justice Systems
- People with Certain Disabilities
- Members 65 & Older
- People in Home & Community-Based Waiver Programs
- Katie Beckett Members
