Strengthening Medicaid for Serious Mental Illness: New Services and Funding

This act aims to increase access to intensive community-based services for adults with serious mental illness, helping them live independently and avoid hospitalization. This means more treatment and support options outside of hospitals, potentially improving quality of life and reducing financial burdens for families.
Key points
Increased federal Medicaid funding for states that provide intensive community-based services for adults with serious mental illness.
Introduction of new comprehensive services, including assertive community treatment, supported employment, peer support services, and mobile crisis interventions, available outside of institutional settings.
Availability of planning grants for states to develop the necessary infrastructure for delivering these services.
