Bill overview
This bill, the Improving Access to Institutional Mental Health Care Act, aims to expand access to mental healthcare for younger adults by removing a longstanding restriction in Medicaid that limited federal payments for services provided in institutions for mental diseases (IMDs) to individuals over 65. Currently, states could receive Medicaid funding for these services through waivers, but this legislation removes the age restriction, allowing broader coverage. This change is intended to increase treatment options and support for individuals under 65 needing mental health care in institutional settings.
