The United States has an ongoing behavioral health crisis marked by high rates of mental health and substance use disorders and resulting access challenges. As states seek to develop effective solutions to these challenges, they are finding innovative and new ways to use Medicaid.
Join us for a live interactive webinar with state leaders as we address questions such as:
- How are states using Medicaid, including 1115 demonstrations, to drive innovation and improve access to and quality of behavioral health care?
- What strategies are states using to combine Medicaid with other sources of funding to develop a comprehensive response to behavioral health challenges?
- While overdose deaths have declined somewhat in the last year, they remain at unacceptably high levels as the nation’s illicit drug supply continues to change and become ever more dangerous. How have states responded using “contingency management” and other innovative approaches?
- What steps are leading states taking to implement their new Medicaid-based policies to ensure that they become a reality on the ground?
