Telehealth and telesupervision for ABA in Nevada

Yes.

Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA); Licensed Assistant Behavior Analyst (LaBA) for BCaBAs; state registration for RBTs

Nevada Board of Applied Behavior Analysis (independent since Oct 1, 2021; formerly handled by the Aging and Disability Services Division)

NRS Chapter 641D (Applied Behavior Analysis); for the ordinary application route, applicants must hold current BACB certification (NRS 641D.310). NRS 641D.310(1) and (4) expressly except endorsement applications under NRS 641D.340 and 641D.350, so those routes are governed by their own provisions.

As of 2026-10-21, the Board page lists: LBA/LaBA application $100, state examination fee $150, RBT registration fee $70 (non-refundable). These listed application and exam charges are not a complete initial-licensure price; other costs (e.g., fingerprinting) apply. Fingerprinting via LiveScan is about $40 plus a vendor fee, with fingerprint results in roughly 10-14 days; this is the fingerprint-results turnaround only, not total application processing time. LiveScan is not available outside Nevada; the Board requires out-of-state applicants to use its alternative fingerprint process. For the ordinary application route, the Board must make a determination within 120 days of receiving a complete application (NRS 641D.310(4)); this is a determination deadline, not guaranteed issuance, and does not apply to every route (endorsement applications are excepted). Renewal is biennial, due by Jan 1 of odd-numbered years (NRS 641D.360). Fee amounts are as shown on the board page when fetched and may change.

Sometimes. See the detail below.

As of 2026-10-21, ABA via telehealth in Nevada Medicaid appears available on a conditional basis. It is not blanket authorization for every ABA code, provider or delivery mode. Nevada Medicaid's general telehealth policy (MSM 3403, the Chapter 3400 edition effective Nov 29, 2023, which the state page lists as current) covers telehealth that is clinically appropriate and within scope, with parity to in-person care. Providers must follow the MSM policy for the specific service. MSM 3403.6(D) lists personal care, home health and private duty nursing services as in-person only, and ABA is not listed there. That list is not an exhaustive inventory of in-person requirements. For example, MSM 3403.5(C) requires an in-person ESRD visit, and 2026 guidance distinguishes home-health initiating encounters from initial assessments. MSM 3700 (Apr 2024) has no dedicated telehealth section. It excludes phone consultation and, under 3704.6(B)(8), requires a parent/guardian or designated representative to be physically present and observant during home interventions. That requirement does not by itself mean the clinician must be physically present. CareSource's Nevada Medicaid ABA reimbursement policy (eff. 2026-01-01) says telemedicine services are reimbursed the same way and subject to the same limits as in-person service. No explicit authorization for remote direct 1:1 RBT treatment or remote clinical supervision was located in the cited ABA materials, so both remain unverified. Telehealth modifier requirements were not confirmed from the sources reviewed here and should be checked against the August 2026 billing guide. Parent-training specifics were not found.

Medicaid MSM 3403 states telehealth services have parity with in-person health care services. Commercial-insurance telehealth parity law is unverified by this source set.

Originating site must be within Nevada (MSM 3403). MSM 3403.6(D) lists personal care, home health and private duty nursing as in-person only, but this is not an exhaustive list of in-person requirements (see also MSM 3403.5(C) for ESRD visits). Under MSM 3704.6(B)(8), a parent/guardian or designated representative must be physically present and observant during home interventions. ABA-specific in-person requirements for the clinician were not found.

We could not verify this yet - check with the state Medicaid agency or licensing board.
