Notes:17

B - Per the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, a respiratory care practitioner is required for, but not limited to, therapeutic and diagnostic use of medical gas and the maintenance of associated apparatus; carrying out the written orders of a physician; CPAP/BiPAP setup and education as well as training relating to the practice of respiratory care. This individual may be a contract employee. A respiratory care practitioner is not required if only delivering equipment or medical gas to consumers.

C - The Nevada Ophthalmic Dispenser License is not required if the supplier holds a Nevada Optometrist or Ophthalmologist License.

D - The Medical Devices, Equipment & Gases License is required of any business engaged as a medical products provider that wishes to sell, lease or otherwise provide medical devices, equipment, supplies, and gases to a consumer in this state. Additionally, suppliers providing custom orthotics or prosthetics must be approved by the Board and submit evidence that the supplier has employed or contracted with an individual who holds a national certification through the American Board of Certification (ABC) or the Board of Certification (BOC) to provide these items. The license requirement does not apply to NV licensed Pharmacies, Hospitals, or Health Professionals (i.e. Physicians, Dentists, Podiatrists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapist, Registered Nurses or Respiratory Therapists) who sell, lease or otherwise provide medical devices, and gases within the scope of their license or registration in a health care facility other than the facility of the medical equipment provider to a consumer for use by that consumer pursuant to the order of a practitioner.

Z - As of 2008, Cochlear Implants are no longer considered DME, and they are now paid through Part B
