This is a practical, clinician-focused checklist designed to support review of common NV Medicaid documentation and compliance elements for behavioral health services.
This checklist helps providers:
identify required components of Medicaid progress notes
flag common documentation oversights
support medical necessity and service justification
build consistent, defensible documentation habits
The checklist is intended to be used as a self-review tool, whether you are auditing your own notes, onboarding new clinicians, or tightening documentation practices across a practice.
It is based on a review of the Nevada Medicaid Services Manual for Behavioral Health (current as of November 2025) and reflects general documentation expectations. Medicaid requirements vary by program and may change over time; providers should always consult the most current Medicaid manual and applicable guidance for authoritative requirements.
