Starting a Nevada Home Health or Personal Care Agency?

• Nevada Home Health Agency — obtains HCQC licensure under NAC 449 and may separately pursue Medicare certification and Medicaid enrollment.
• Nevada Personal Care Agency — obtains an Agency to Provide Personal Care Services in the Home license under NRS 449B and implementing NAC 449 rules.

Yes. NAC 449.752 prohibits establishing, conducting, or maintaining a Nevada HHA without first obtaining a state license.

NAC 449.768 requires the HHA applicant and licensee to maintain its home office in Nevada. Licenses are location-specific, identify the service area and responsible person, and are not transferable.

HCQC reviews the application, identity and ownership, premises, local approval, insurance, bond, administrator qualifications, financial and entity documents, background checks, policies, methods of operation, and survey readiness.

Nevada periodically inspects licensed HHAs. When deficiencies are reported, the administrator must submit a correction plan within 10 days after receiving the report.

Nevada broadly incorporates 42 CFR Part 484 and CMS Appendix B survey guidance, with specified exceptions for non-Medicare-certified HHAs.

The licensed agency separately completes CMS enrollment, federal materials, OASIS readiness, the Conditions of Participation, and an initial certification survey through the state survey agency or a CMS-approved accrediting organization.

No. Nevada Medicaid Provider Type 29 enrollment, NPI, agreements, screening, revalidation, managed-care contracting, billing, and EVV are separate.

Yes. NRS 449B.100 requires a license to operate an Agency to Provide Personal Care Services in the Home unless a specific statutory exemption applies.

Authorized services include assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, grooming, meals, laundry, shopping, cleaning, transportation, and minor personal-hygiene needs. Limited health-related tasks require compliance with the exact statutory and regulatory conditions.

The application typically addresses ownership, local approval, insurance, surety bond, administrator qualifications, financial capacity, entity records, background checks, training, personnel systems, policies, client safeguards, service plans, and operational readiness.

Yes, subject to the applicable statutory terms and exceptions. NRS 449B uses employee-based surety-bond tiers, and the agency must retain required liability coverage.

Yes. Applicants submit fingerprints for state and federal review, and agencies must complete the required initial and periodic screening of covered employees, temporary staff, and independent contractors.

The administrator or designee must document the initial screening, develop or accept the service plan, verify the agency can meet the client's needs, review schedules and backup and complaint procedures, explain prohibited tasks, and coordinate other services.

Yes. Documented home visits or telephone calls must evaluate safety, service-plan compliance, whether the client's needs are met, attendant training, and necessary follow-up.

Under the current NRS 449B framework, the license expires December 31 following issuance and is renewable for one year upon reapplication, required statements, investigation, and payment of applicable fees.

No. Nevada Medicaid Provider Type 30 enrollment is separate and electronic. The provider must meet current licensure, ownership, NPI, insurance, screening, contract, revalidation, authorization, and billing requirements.

Yes for Nevada Medicaid home health, personal care, and specified waiver services. Covered claims must flow through Nevada's EVV system even when the provider uses an approved alternate vendor.

Yes. Nevada Medicaid requires training before a provider furnishes covered services, and applicable agency and attendant NPIs must be documented in the EVV system.
