The Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), the Department of Behavioral Health Services and Developmental (DBHDS) and the Department of Health Professions (DHP) are inviting the public to a webinar regarding Right Help. Right Now. Medicaid Behavioral Health Services Redesign.
In December, 2022, Governor Youngkin announced a six-pillar plan to transform Virginia’s behavioral health system: the Right Help. Right Now. Plan. (RHRN). As plans developed under Pillar 3 (increasing community capacity) and Pillar 6 (service innovations), initiatives to redesign Medicaid legacy community mental health rehabilitative services (CMHRS)(Intensive In-Home, Therapeutic Day Treatment, Mental Health Skill Building, Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Targeted Case Management) for both adults and youth emerged as significant needs within the system. The current 2024-2026 biennium budget includes Item 288, XX which provides DMAS the authority to replace our CMHRS services and case management service.
In collaboration with DBHDS and DHP, DMAS is launching a two-year project (July 2024-June 2026) to replace their CMHRS services and case management service and this webinar is an opportunity to find about more about the project.
