Explanation
(This amendment modifies language included in the introduced budget related to the development and implementation of care coordination services for individuals in need of behavioral health services that are not receiving them through managed care organizations. Language that would implement care coordination for individuals receiving services in the Mental Retardation/Intellectual Disabilities (MR/ID) waiver is eliminated since the services provided under this Waiver program are reviewed and approved using a person-centered model by a treatment team, must be authorized by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services in advance, and are regularly monitored and reviewed by the Community Services Board/Behavioral Health Authority case manager. Further, enrollment of the individuals in this waiver program is proposed in the introduced budget to be implemented on January 1, 2012, which should be evaluated before any additional care coordination proposal is presented.)
