Division of Insurance Bulletin 24-001, Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems by Insurers
Expects all insurers authorized in Nevada to develop, implement and maintain a written program for the responsible use of AI systems that make or support decisions related to regulated insurance practices, designed to mitigate the risk of adverse consumer outcomes and covering governance, risk management and internal controls and third-party AI systems and data, and tells insurers to expect questions about their AI systems in Division investigations and market conduct actions.
Physician read. It places no duty on physicians. Since Feb. 23, 2024, the Division of Insurance has expected insurers, including health insurers, to keep a written program for the responsible use of AI systems that make or support decisions related to regulated insurance practices and to answer questions about those systems in investigations and market conduct actions.
Notes: Issued Feb. 23, 2024 by Commissioner of Insurance Scott J. Kipper to all insurers subject to Title 57 of NRS, citing the Unfair Trade Practices Act (NRS 686A.010 to 686A.310), the Corporate Governance Annual Disclosure Act (NRS 692C.3501 to 692C.3509) and the insurance rating law (NRS 686B.010 to 686B.1799); it cites the NAIC's 2020 Principles on Artificial Intelligence and states no separate effective date. The NAIC's adoption map dated Aug. 31, 2026 lists Nevada as adopting the NAIC Model Bulletin through Bulletin 24-001, adopted Feb. 23, 2024. The Division's bulletins page describes it as guidance on handling AI and AI systems during examinations.

Also relevant here: AB 406, Makes Various Changes Relating to Health (under mental health AI).
Mental health AI
AI in therapy and mental health care.
AB 406, Makes Various Changes Relating to Health
Bars an AI provider from making available in Nevada an AI system specifically programmed to provide a service that would be the practice of professional mental or behavioral health care if a person provided it, or from representing that an AI system is a provider of such care, bars licensed mental and behavioral health care providers from using AI in connection with providing that care directly to a patient while allowing its use for administrative support tasks, and bars public schools from using AI to perform the mental health functions of school counselors, psychologists and social workers.
Physician read. Since July 1, 2025, a Nevada psychiatrist or other licensed mental or behavioral health provider may not use an AI system in connection with providing professional mental and behavioral health care directly to a patient, but may use it for administrative support tasks such as scheduling, records, billing, operational data analysis and organizing session notes, and must independently review the accuracy of anything the AI generates. A violation is unprofessional conduct subject to discipline by the provider's licensing board.
Notes: The Nevada Legislature's bill pages were not used; status, chapter and text come from LegiScan, whose history shows approval by the Governor on June 5, 2025 and Chapter 283 on June 6, 2025. Sections 1 to 9 took effect on passage and approval for regulations and preparatory tasks and on July 1, 2025, for all other purposes (Section 10). The provider rule (Section 8, codified as NRS 629.610) covers psychiatrists licensed under NRS Chapter 630 or 633, psychologists and other listed licensees and trainees; its list of administrative support tasks is not exhaustive ('which may include, without limitation'), and administrative use must comply with applicable federal and state laws on patient privacy and the security of electronic health records. The AI provider rule (Section 7, codified as NRS 433.567) also bars an AI provider from representing that an AI system is a therapist, counselor, psychiatrist, doctor or similar, bars a natural person without a governmental credential from representing that he or she is qualified to provide professional mental or behavioral health care, exempts advertising of self-help materials, and lets the Division of Public and Behavioral Health (the 'Division' under NRS 433.084) investigate and seek civil penalties of up to $15,000 per violation. The school provision is Section 2, added to NRS Chapter 391.
Data and privacy
Health and consumer data, biometrics, and data used to train AI.
SB 370, Revises Provisions Relating to the Protection of Consumer Information
Requires a regulated entity to post a consumer health data privacy policy, obtain a consumer's affirmative, voluntary consent before collecting consumer health data unless it is needed for a requested product or service and separate consent before sharing it, obtain written authorization before selling it, act on requests to confirm, stop collecting and delete the data within 45 days, and not use a geofence within 1,750 feet of a medical facility to identify or track people seeking in-person care.
Physician read. The law does not apply to any person or entity subject to HIPAA, so it places no duty on a physician practice subject to HIPAA. Since March 31, 2024, health apps and other businesses outside HIPAA have needed a Nevada consumer's consent to collect or share consumer health data, unless the collection or sharing is necessary to provide a product or service the consumer requested, and written authorization to sell it.
Notes: The Nevada Legislature's bill pages were not used; LegiScan's history shows approval by the Governor on June 15, 2023 and Chapter 525 (effective March 31, 2024) on June 16, 2023. Effective March 31, 2024 (Section 36). Section 20(1)(a) exempts any person or entity subject to HIPAA and its regulations. Consumer health data is personally identifiable information linked or reasonably capable of being linked to a consumer that a regulated entity uses to identify the consumer's past, present or future health status, including conditions and diagnoses, treatments and procedures, medications, reproductive or sexual health services, gender-affirming care, biometric and genetic data, precise geolocation indicating an attempt to obtain health services, and data derived or inferred from non-health data, including by algorithms or machine learning. A violation is a deceptive trade practice; the act creates no private right of action.
Federal law also applies in every state: see federal law and policy.
