Bill overview
This bill, the Expanding Access to Inpatient Mental Health Act, aims to increase access to mental health treatment for low-income individuals by allowing states to receive federal Medicaid funding for inpatient psychiatric and substance use disorder services provided in institutions for mental diseases. Currently, federal Medicaid payments for these services are generally limited for adults under 65. The bill expands this coverage to include individuals enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations or prepaid inpatient health plans, provided the treatment lasts no more than 15 days per month and is part of a broader treatment plan.
