CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- A state board has approved fees for policies to be sold on Nevada's health insurance exchange to cover operating expenses.
The Silver State Health Insurance Exchange board approved rates Thursday during a meeting in Carson City. Fees likely will be passed on to consumers.

Health insurance plans that don't include dental coverage will be charged $4.95 per month. Those that include dental will pay a $5.31. A stand-alone dental plan will be assessed 36 cents per month.
Nevada's insurance exchange received preliminary approval from the federal government this month.
Nevada's exchange will begin enrollment in October.
