We discuss the direct detection prospects for neutralino dark matter via elastic scattering in variations of the MSSM with non-universal supersymmetry-breaking contributions to the Higgs masses. Taking as our starting point the CMSSM, in which supersymmetry-breaking contributions to all scalar masses are universal, we examine scenarios in which both Higgs scalar masses are non-universal by the same amount (NUHM1) and scenarios in which the Higgs scalar masses are independently non-universal (NUHM2).
