The Commission continued its examination of appropriate access to residential treatment services for youth with behavioral health needs. MACPAC staff reviewed federal requirements for Medicaid coverage of residential treatment services, summarized key findings and challenges with access, and presented draft policy options that addressed key challenges. These draft policy options highlighted the absence of easily accessible, public information on facility and bed availability; the availability of data on use of residential care, in particular in out-of-state facilities; and the need to strengthen discharge planning requirements, including for youth in out-of-state residential treatment.
