FREE Webinar: Implementing the Upcoming Medicaid Policy Changes for Youth Reentry
December 6 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Presented by the NCCHC Juvenile Health Committee
Learn about new federal legislation, taking effect in January 2025, that will impact how states provide – and bill for – health care and mental health services to youths leaving custody and reentering their communities. The new legislation requires states to provide screening and diagnostic services to eligible youths in the 30 days before their release and targeted case management for at least 30 days prior to release and for at least 30 days postrelease. But how? Who exactly is covered? In this informational session, a panel of experts will cover the basics, answer your questions, and help you get prepared.
There is no CE offered for this program.
