Survey of Evidence-Based Practices in State Medicaid Plans

Proposed Project Survey of Evidence-Based Practices in State Medicaid Plans: Coverage Structures, Access and Challenges--NEW The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is conducting a survey to gather information about current and planned State Medicaid activities and policies related to six mental health/substance abuse evidence-based practices (EBPs). This survey is part of a five-year project to increase attention to and understanding of Medicaid mental health and substance abuse service issues among State Medicaid and Mental Health/Substance Abuse Directors, as well as improve the effectiveness of State Medicaid mental health services. The purpose of the survey is to determine the overall management and delivery of mental health and substance abuse services within Medicaid and the use of six specific evidence-based practices. The information provided through the survey will be vital to increasing awareness and understanding of Medicaid mental health/substance abuse evidence-based practice activities. This information will also be used to develop numerous products to help State Medicaid and Mental Health/ Substance Abuse Directors adopt, deliver, and refine existing policies about mental health and substance abuse EBPs.
