Agency to seek federal approval for coverage and reimbursement authority for mobile crisis response services.

Effective upon this act becoming a law, the Agency for Health Care Administration shall seek federal approval for coverage and reimbursement authority for mobile crisis response services pursuant to 42 U.S.C. s. 1396w-6. The Department of Children and Families must coordinate with the Agency for Health Care Administration to educate contracted providers of child, adolescent, and young adult mobile response team services on the process to enroll as a Medicaid provider; encourage and incentivize enrollment as a Medicaid provider; and reduce barriers to maximizing federal reimbursement for community-based mobile crisis response services.
