Virginia

The State of Virginia is undergoing significant reforms to their Medicaid program. As outlined by Secretary Hazel in April 2014, the 1st phase includes implementation of their dual eligibles program, the Commonwealth Coordinated Care Program. The second phase includes "Limited Provider Networks and Medical Homes." These will include creating an agreement with the federal government that allows for limited provider networks would afford Virginia’s MCO’s, health systems, and health care providers to create innovative models of  comprehensive care specific to a region, chronic condition, or co-occurring medical situations that span across physical and mental health. While number of providers may be reduced with a limited network, qualifying beneficiaries could receive higher quality coordinated care through a limited network arrangement.

The survey provides new information and data that address a range of Medicaid issues, including:

Many Recommend Teaching Mental Health in Schools. Now Two States Will Require It.

Amid sharply rising rates of teen suicide and adolescent mental illness, two states have enacted laws that for the first time require public schools to include mental health education in their basic curriculum.
