- Word & Brown and General Nevada News
- Nevada Market Stabilization Program: Nevada is gearing up to implement its Market Stabilization Program, branded as “Battle Born State Plans,” set to launch in 2026 with enrollment set to begin in November 2025. This public option aims to curb rising health care costs by linking provider reimbursement rates to Medicare levels (capped at 110% of Medicare rates). While not active yet, it is already influencing carrier strategies for 2025 as they gear up for increased competition.
- Employer Market – New NV Dental MLR Rules: Signed into law in 2023 and effective in 2026, Nevada’s SB393 strengthens the state’s Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) rule mandating insurers spend at least 75% of premiums on patient care. Those not meeting this threshold must lower rates or compensate policyholders. This will directly impact employer-sponsored Dental plans, ensuring more premium dollars fund services for employees.
