PEBP plan changes, VA upgrades, and CCSD health-services partnership: Las Vegas health updates
Las Vegas, NV – March 2, 2026 – VA facility upgrades, possible state employee health-plan changes, and CCSD’s new student health partnership.
State employee health plan changes head to March decision
Nevada’s Public Employees’ Benefits Program (PEBP) board is expected to make final decisions in March on potential adjustments that could increase premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums for the upcoming plan year, according to KOLO reporting citing a Nevada Health Authority news release. The discussion follows a Feb. 25 board meeting and comes as the program faces projected fiscal challenges and rising health care expenses.
PEBP officials said updated plan options and premium details are expected after the March board action, with open enrollment slated to begin May 1.
VA Southern Nevada announces infrastructure work
The VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System announced Feb. 26 that it is moving forward with infrastructure projects intended to support safe and effective patient care. The VA listed two first-quarter fiscal year 2026 items: replacement of operating room flooring in Building 1 and project management and construction management services.
The VA said the work is part of broader facility modernization funded through the Veterans Health Administration’s Non-Recurring Maintenance program.
CCSD approves student health-services partnership
The Clark County School District Board of School Trustees approved a memorandum of agreement with Rejuven Health to provide health services to CCSD students and their families at no cost to CCSD or students, according to a district recap posted Feb. 27. The listed services include immunizations, wellness exams, sports physicals, mental health services, and more.
Septic rule update: meeting postponed, clarifications issued
A Health District meeting on proposed septic system regulations was postponed Feb. 24 after local reporting estimated roughly 1,500 people showed up to a venue with limited capacity. FOX5 reported the Health District said the meeting will be rescheduled at a larger site, and noted that about 17,000 homes across Clark County operate on septic tanks.
In a Feb. 25 statement, the Southern Nevada Health District said the intent of proposed updates is to modernize 17-year-old regulations, clarify standards, and strengthen groundwater protections. The agency also emphasized that no new permits or fees would be required for existing septic system owners under what was being proposed, and that permit renewals would apply only to newly constructed systems or those requiring a construction permit. The statement also described a notification step after property sales to update records and provide educational materials.
