Summary
Medical assistance services; mental health services for at-risk youth. Requires the Director of the Department of Medical Assistance Services to develop and apply for a waiver to obtain Medicaid coverage for children in need of mental health services and who are at risk of institutional placement due to the need for those services. The waiver would be designed to provide behavioral, respite care, and family support services. The number of waiver slots requested would be dependent upon appropriations for this purpose. The bill requires the waiver to be submitted to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services by October 1, 2006, and provides for the development of emergency regulations to implement the waiver. The bill is contingent upon appropriations. View Full Text »
