CHIP State Amendment Plans
This SPA demonstrates compliance with CHIP mental health parity regulations.
Implements mental health parity regulations at 42 CFR 457.496 to ensure that treatment limitations and financial requirements applied to mental health and substance use disorder benefits are no more restrictive than those applied to medical surgical benefits.
The state proposed three health service initiatives (HSIs) in this SPA: 1) providing kits to children with Sickle Cell disease; 2) promoting safe sleep by providing safe sleep kits to vulnerable infants; and 3) increasing the availability of long-acting reversible contraceptives at Oklahoma health departments for women under 19 years of age.
This SPA allows Nevada to obtain federal funding to expand coverage to uninsured non-citizen targeted low income children who are lawfully residing in the United States, as permitted under section 2107(e)(l)(M) of the Social Security Act. On May 17, 2018, the state received approval for the same type of amendment under Medicaid SPA NVI 8-0003.
