Bill Summary

CONCERNING A PROGRAM TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR VETERANS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill establishes the Veterans Mental Health Services Program in the Division of Veterans Affairs within the Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The program will reimburse providers for up to 26 mental health care sessions per year for eligible veterans, defined as veterans living in veterans community living centers. Providers must be licensed professionals such as psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and addiction counselors, and must be available to provide at least 4 sessions to each eligible veteran they accept as a client. The division is required to develop a process for providers to apply for and demonstrate eligibility, inform providers of the remaining number of sessions an eligible veteran has, and determine a reasonable reimbursement rate. The bill also appropriates $642,645 and 1.6 FTE to the division to implement the program.
