Report: Mental health support largely absent in Medicaid HCBS programming

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.
