23. Medicaid Considerations • States determine Medicaid Plan—even for services covered by 100% FMAP • (e.g. TCM in ND v SD or BH meds in AZ v NM) • States control number of All-Inclusive Rates billed per day (100% FMAP) • (e.g. 3/day in AZ—1/day in SD—changed!) IHS or Tribal services 100% FMAP State

25. SD Medicaid Next Steps • Continue Medical Processes • Expand efforts in BH services coordination • IHS, Tribal, State, Private Sector, ATR? • Identify issues in LTC • Partners in Advocacy • e.g. Full funding of IHS—more local services—more access to 100% FMAP payments
