Children in facilities must be immunized per Nevada law and CDC immunization schedule for infants and children With immunization on many people’s minds at this time of year, this is a good time to remind child care facilities of Nevada’s legal requirements for vaccination of children in licensed facilities. Under Nevada Revised Statutes 432A.230 all children enrolled in a licensed child care facility must be immunized against:
Note: The exemption from immunizations for religious or medical reasons will still be honored.
Bonds must be indebted to Department of Health and Human Services, not Human Resource Nevada health facilities submitting their license renewals by the Nov. 15 deadline are advised to update their surety bonds to list the following: “(Name of facility) are indebted to the State of Nevada, Department of Health and Human Services, Division for Aging & Disability Services." A common error on surety bonds is they are indebted to “State of Nevada, Department of Human Resources, Division for Aging Services.” The original surety bond must be mailed to:
Examples of surety bonds are below. For additional renewal information, visit the Nevada health facility renewal information web page. If you have any questions, call (775) 684-1030 or email [email protected].
Get help meeting the Nov. 15 deadline to avoid a penalty License renewal season is here, and the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (HCQC) has updated its Health Facility Renewal info/help web page to guide you through the process. The page also can be accessed from the Division of Public and Behavioral Health home page at http://dpbh.nv.gov/ by clicking on the graphic illustrated below. Facility staff are encouraged to reference this page frequently to answer any questions you have regarding this process. This page contains information about which facilities must renew, an application checklist, fee schedule and a video tutorial that will guide you through the Online Licensing System, which now can be accessed by typing myhealthfacilitylicense.nv.gov into your web browser address bar. General HCQC information is available through the Health Facilities home page.
The renewal deadline is Nov. 15, with licenses expiring Dec. 31. Renewal applications submitted after Nov. 15 will have to pay the regular renewal fee plus an additional 50 percent of that fee. New law applies to four types of Nevada health facilities Starting in 2018, employees of a licensed Nevada residential facility for groups, an agency to provide personal services in the home, a facility for the care of adults during the day or an intermediary service organization are allowed to check vital signs, administer insulin and perform blood glucose tests. This change is the result of the passage of Senate Bill 324 (SB 324) by the Nevada Legislature and signing by Governor Brian Sandoval. The Division of Public and Behavioral Health has issued a technical bulletin explaining the details of this new law. To read the bulletin, click the PDF below.
