Mental Health Diagnostic and Rehabilitative Services  

  • The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) will amend Attachment 4.19-B of the Medicaid State Plan to remove obsolete provisions for retroactive cost settlement in both San Juan County and Wasatch County. This change is necessary because mental health providers are no longer limited under contract to provide services in mental health centers only.

    This State Plan Amendment (SPA 16-0006-UT) does not affect total annual expenditures for the Medicaid program.

    The SPA is pending approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the proposed effective date is April 1, 2016.

    A copy of this change may be obtained from Craig Devashrayee (801-538-6641), or by writing the Technical Writing Unit, Utah Department of Health, PO Box 143102, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-3102. Comments are welcome at the same address. Copies of the change are also available at local county health department offices.
