  Medicaid eligibility and referrals

It is our goal to ensure that your child is getting the best coverage available. As part of the eligibility process, we will screen your application for Medicaid eligibility. If it appears that your child is eligible for Medicaid, the application will be forwarded to the nearest Welfare District Office. Your child can be provisionally enrolled in Nevada Check Up while the Medicaid application is being determined. You must complete the process if it appears your child is eligible for Medicaid in order not to be denied for the Nevada Check Up.
