Bill overview
The Cahoots Act aims to improve mental health crisis response by encouraging states to use Medicaid to fund community-based mobile crisis intervention teams. These teams, comprised of behavioral health professionals, would respond to mental health and substance use crises outside of hospitals, offering services like assessment, de-escalation, and referrals to support services. The bill also increases federal funding for these services and requires states to evaluate their effectiveness and share best practices.
