1. An office of a physician or a facility that provides health care, other than a

medical facility, must obtain a permit pursuant to NRS 449.443 before offering to a patient a service of general anesthesia, conscious sedation

or deep sedation. An office of a physician or a facility that provides health care, other than a medical

facility, which operates at more than one location must obtain a permit for each location

sedation in this State, an office of a physician or a facility that provides health

care, other than a medical facility, must maintain current accreditation by a nationally

recognized organization approved by the Board. Upon receiving an initial permit, the office or facility shall, within 6 months

after obtaining the permit, submit proof to the Division of accreditation by such

an organization. 3. If an office of a physician or a facility that provides health care, other than

a medical facility, fails to maintain current accreditation or if the accreditation

is revoked or is otherwise no longer valid, the office or facility shall immediately

cease offering to patients a service of general anesthesia, conscious sedation or

deep sedation.
