AI Summary
This bill aims to improve access to behavioral health services by directing the Office of Medicaid to develop a streamlined process for Medicaid-contracted health insurers, plans, and administrators to allow admission to inpatient behavioral health services directly from a community-based setting, without requiring a medical screening examination in an emergency department. The bill requires the Office of Medicaid to consult with a working group of relevant stakeholders and to provide progress reports and legislative recommendations, if necessary, to various legislative committees.
