District of Columbia Receives Approval for Mobile Crisis State Plan Amendment

Today, CMS approved a community-based mobile crisis state plan amendment (SPA) that allows the District of Columbia to create mobile crisis intervention teams to provide Medicaid crisis services. DC will be able to provide these services by connecting eligible individuals in crisis to a behavioral health provider 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

For more information on this approval, please see the full District of Columbia SPA.
