Massachusetts Receives Approval for Mobile Crisis State Plan Amendment

Today, CMS approved a community-based mobile crisis state plan amendment (SPA) that allows Massachusetts to create mobile crisis intervention teams to provide Medicaid crisis services. Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts SPA.
