Who qualifies and how the income limits work
Nevada Medicaid uses these income limits: Pregnant people up to 205% of the poverty level (about $56,010 a year for a family of three in 2026); Children, through Medicaid or CHIP, up to 205% of the poverty level (about $56,010 a year for a family of three in 2026); Adults 19 to 64, including parents, up to 138% of the poverty level (about $37,700 a year for a family of three in 2026).
These limits include the 5% income disregard federal rules apply (42 CFR 435.603). The state makes the final decision based on your household and income.
Nevada has expanded Medicaid, so adults 19 to 64 with income up to 138% of the poverty level can qualify.
For Black families
Nevada Medicaid has covered doula services since April 1, 2022, including support during labor and delivery: without prior authorization, a doula can bill four prenatal or postpartum visits (up to 90 days after birth) and one labor and delivery visit per pregnancy. Since January 1, 2024, Nevada Medicaid has covered people for 12 months after pregnancy. Nevada Check Up, the state's CHIP program, covers uninsured children under 19 in households up to 205% of the federal poverty level, for a premium.
