Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to submit to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services any waivers or state plan amendments determined necessary in order to reimburse community-based mobile crisis intervention services. The department does not currently provide this service, but is in the midst of a rate study to identify a rate for this new service. The service is expected to be implemented during SFY 2024, but there is not enough information to determine the impact of this new service at this time.
