COVID 19 UPDATE

Find COVID-19 Testing in Nevada
Now more than ever, testing for COVID-19 is critical. In Nevada, health officials and professionals are working hard to ensure that anyone who needs a test can get one. It’s the only way we’ll know where the virus is and then arrange resources to slow the spread.

COVID-19 data and test results that include people who don’t show symptoms (“asymptomatic”) can provide a more accurate understanding of how the virus is spreading. Identifying asymptomatic cases will provide a better understanding of the virus’s impacts on the community. Expanding testing plays a major part in influencing the state’s continuous adjustment of prevention and control measures. Additional testing can also lead to a larger number of Nevadans being made aware of their conditions, knowledge that could contribute to focused social distancing and further slowing community transmissions.

The testing location information below is provided and maintained by Castlight: COVID-19 Resource Center. (Testing locations are not endorsed or vetted by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services.) Testing sites can be searched by specific location or by county.

Individuals who need help accessing this content are encouraged to call Nevada 2-1-1 for more information. While testing criteria for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been expanded in Nevada to include individuals with and without symptoms, each testing site has its own criteria, which is indicated in the results below.

Please call the testing site or your health care provider before you go for testing. Click here to report incorrect information about the testing location information provided in results below.
New Temporary Uninsured Aid Category for COVID-19 Services

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved Nevada’s request to add a new Uninsured Aid Category for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) services. This aid category is retroactive to dates of service on or after March 18, 2020, and approved to the end of the public health emergency. 

In order to be eligible, the individual must meet the definition of “uninsured individual” and must not be covered by another health plan such as a federal health care program, including Nevada Check Up, Medicare, TRICARE, Veterans Administration (VA), federal employee health plan, a group health plan or health insurance coverage offered by a health insurance issuer including a qualified health plan through an Exchange, employer-sponsored health insurance, retiree health plans, or COBRA continuation coverage.

This aid category will be available in the Nevada Medicaid Electronic Verification System (EVS), by phone using the Automated Response System (ARS), or by using a swipe card vendor as “COVID-19 Temporary.”

COVID-19 services are limited to:

Evaluation and management assessments,
Diagnostic and serology antibody testing, and
Chest X-ray services.
This does not include any provisions that would extend coverage for the treatment of COVID-19 to the uninsured.
This information has been added to the COVID-19 General Billing Guide and the COVID-19 Community-Based Billing Guide located at: https://www.medicaid.nv.gov/providers/BillingInfo.aspx.

Instructions for Uninsured Patients:

Providers who have uninsured patients that have been tested for COVID-19 may direct them to the following Access Nevada website to apply for COVID-19 testing and diagnostic services coverage: https://accessnevada.dwss.nv.gov/public/landing-page and click on the link “Click for COVID-19 Testing Coverage” at the top of the webpage. This is not an application for full Nevada Medicaid coverage. Patients must attest to residency, citizenship, Social Security Number (SSN), and that they have no other insurance or do not qualify for regular Medicaid.

When applying for this coverage, the applicant must complete the application in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader and NOT use a default browser PDF-viewer within Chrome or Edge. The form can also be printed and completed. Submission and mailing instructions are located on the form.

Once the application is submitted and reviewed, a “Temporary Special Medicaid Program Notice of Decision” will be mailed to the applicant. For application questions, call Access Nevada at (800) 992-0900.
