SB 6558: Mental health services

Concerning intensive home and community-based mental health services for medicaid-eligible children.

Summary

  • Replaces the Wraparound Pilot Program with a requirement that the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) implement a Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) program of intensive home and community-based children's mental health services beginning July 1, 2014, and repurposes the funding for the Wraparound Pilot toward the WISe implementation.
  • Specifies that the WISe program must serve youth under age 21 with a mental illness or condition who have a functional impairment which substantially interferes with or substantially limits the ability to function in the family, school, or community setting, and for whom intensive home and community-based services have been recommended by a licensed practitioner to correct the mental illness.
  • Requires that the DSHS provide an annual implementation report to the Office of Financial Management and the appropriate committees of the Legislature by December 1 of each year during implementation of the WISe.
