The Nevada Health Authority’s Health Care Purchasing and Compliance Division is seeking approval of regulation R072-26 to increase licensing fees and monetary penalties for medical laboratories and laboratory personnel under NAC 652 by seven percent. The memorandum to the State Board of Health explicitly states that without this increase the Division may be unable to sustain essential regulatory functions and to modernize regulatory systems, and the small business impact statement notes funds will help modernize licensing infrastructure to enhance online services and customer experience. While no specific IT procurement is named, the documents make clear that increased revenue is intended in part for system modernization and improved online licensing infrastructure.This is a forward-looking budget and policy signal that HCQC is planning upgrades to its licensing and regulatory technology stack once funding is in place. Vendors offering licensing/permit systems, regulatory case management, complaint/inspection tracking, portals, and related consulting can position now by understanding HCQC’s needs and modernization goals before formal solicitations are developed.

HCQC highlights 39 percent inflation over 15 years, growing inspections and complaint workload, and the need to modernize licensing infrastructure and regulatory systems; fee increase applies statewide to entities licensed under NAC 652.
