Bill > H2114

This bill aims to improve access to behavioral health services by directing the Division of Medical Assistance to convene a working group to develop a process to enhance the current community-based behavioral health screening process. The working group will include representatives from various healthcare organizations and will focus on allowing admission to inpatient behavioral health services from a community-based setting without the requirement of a medical screening examination in an emergency department. The bill also requires the Division to file a report with the working group's recommendations, an implementation schedule, and any necessary legislative recommendations within six months of the bill's effective date.
