Today
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) are issuing a
joint Informational Bulletin that describes Medicaid mandatory and optional
state plan benefits and other Medicaid authorities that states may use to
cover mental illness and substance use related treatment services delivered
to eligible children in school-based settings. The Informational
Bulletin also provides states and school systems with best practices and
information about resources that will facilitate implementation of quality,
evidence-based, comprehensive mental illness and substance use related
services for students.
The
joint Informational Bulletin includes tools and resources to help states,
educational agencies, and providers work together to identify and
adequately treat students’ mental illness or substance related challenges
in school-based settings.
