Peer Support Services  

  • The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) will amend Attachment 4.19-B of the Medicaid State Plan to remove the reimbursement page for peer support services because reimbursement for these services already falls under the category of rehabilitative mental health.

    This State Plan Amendment (SPA 17-0021-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 August 1, 2017.

    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.
