Telemental Health & State Medicaid Policies

The importance of, and ability to, access to mental health services has increased exponentially over the course of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). Medicaid agencies have seen a rapid increase in utilization for telemental health services and these services were the most common type of service during the pandemic. This makes behavioral health services via telehealth a promising area of post-PHE telehealth policy. Join the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) and leading Medicaid experts on Friday, May 21, 2021 for the fourth webinar in our Spring webinar series, Telemental Health State Medicaid Policies. This webinar will bring together Medicaid officials for a panel discussion on innovative strategies to incorporate telehealth into Medicaid behavioral health services and programs. State Medicaid presenters will also discuss relevant policy changes during COVID-19 and how that has impacted plans for the future of telemental health in their states.

Stay tuned for more information on confirmed speakers for this webinar. This event is free and open to the public.
