Independent Professionals - State of Nevada licensed: psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers,
marriage and family therapists and clinical professional counselors: These providers are directly
reimbursed for the professional services they deliver to Medicaid eligible recipients in accordance with
their scope of practice, state licensure requirements and expertise.
Individual Rehabilitative Mental Health (RMH) providers must meet the provider qualifications for the
specific service. If they cannot independently provide clinical and direct supervision, they must arrange for
clinical and direct supervision through a contractual agreement with a Behavioral Health Community
Network (BHCN) or qualified independent professional. These providers may directly bill Nevada Medicaid
or may contract with a BHCN.
_____ Provider Standards (MSM Chapter 400)
All providers must:
1. Provide medically necessary services;
2. Adhere to the regulations prescribed in Chapter 400 and all applicable Division chapters;
3. Provide only those services within the scope of their [the provider’s] practice and expertise;

_____ Clinical Supervision (MSM Chapter 400)
Qualified Mental Health Professionals (QMHP), operating within the scope of their practice under state
law, may function as Clinical Supervisors. Clinical Supervisors must have the specific education,
experience, training, credentials, and licensure to coordinate and oversee an array of mental and
behavioral health services. Clinical Supervisors must assure that the mental and/or behavioral health
services provided are medically necessary and clinically appropriate. Clinical Supervisors assume
professional responsibility for the mental and/or behavioral health services provided.
Clinical Supervisors can supervise QMHP, Qualified Mental Health Associates (QMHA) and Qualified
Behavioral Aides (QBA). Clinical Supervisors may also function as Direct Supervisors.
Clinical supervisors must assure the following:
