Description of Program and Relief
Waiver of Licensing Requirements and Fees for Healthcare Workforce
By emergency directive, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak waived certain licensing requirements to allow the practice of certain unlicensed skilled medical professionals during the pendency of the COVID-19 crisis, including, but not limited to, medical providers licensed in other states, retired medical professionals, and medical students, subject to certain eligibility requirements. Providers of medical services in Nevada are also authorized to practice outside the scope of their specialization, within the limits of their competency, to the extent necessary during the COVID-19 crisis.
The directive also waived all licensing fees for providers of medical services applying to practice pursuant to the Emergency Directive, and allows licensed providers to delay submission of outstanding licensing fees while the Emergency Directive remains in effect. No license for a provider of medical services will be suspended for nonpayment of licensing fees while this Directive is in effect, and for a period of 60 days thereafter.
Government or Lead Agency
Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak
Dates Available
Effective April 1, 2020 until the Emergency Directive is specifically modified or terminated by a subsequent directive
