Report: Mental health support largely absent in Medicaid HCBS programming

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: States are largely missing an opportunity to improve outcomes for older adults with mental health needs through use of home‐ and community‐based services (HCBS) under Medicaid, a newly released report suggests. The report's co‐authors found that only an estimated 2% of older adults with serious mental illness (SMI) who are covered by Medicaid receive HCBS services specific to their mental illness.
