Medicaid financial integration: Mid-adopter information

WSHA recently released a bulletin explaining details of counties’ decisions to pursue “mid-adopter” status for financial integration of Medicaid benefits for behavioral health. Many hospital/health systems are being asked to weigh in on this conversation in their county.  Southwest Washington was the first region to pursue financial integration with the second being North Central (Chelan, Douglas, and Grant counties). The bulletin includes frequently asked questions as well as resources. Please let us know if you have any questions. (Chelene Whiteaker)
