What’s in it

This bill requires the department of human services to submit a Medicaid state plan amendment to include functional family therapy (FFT) and multisystemic therapy (MST) for youth as covered services under the Medicaid program. Both FFT and MST are evidence-based treatments for youth that address a youth’s home and environment to reduce problematic behavior and divert the youth from the juvenile justice system.

Fiscal note

Can’t be estimated Compare with other bills

The fiscal impact for HF 2554 cannot be determined because the DHS does not have an accurate estimate of the number of providers who may participate or of member utilization, and it has not developed a rate methodology for FFT or MST. The DHS provided a high-level estimated fiscal impact and potential averted costs based on available data in the table below.
