1. Mental health consultation reimbursement
Current law requires DHS to reimburse clinical consultations for students who are under 21 years of age under the Medical Assistance program until June 30, 2019. Clinical consultations are communications from a mental health professional or qualified treatment trainee to another individual to inform, inquire, and instruct on the symptoms, strategies for care and intervention, and treatment expectations for the student and to direct and coordinate clinical service components. The bill eliminates the June 30, 2019, termination date for the clinical consultation reimbursement.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 49.45 (29y) (d) of the statutes is repealed.
