Section 2707 of the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act was enacted to implement a demonstration to
study the effects of allowing Medicaid payment for the inpatient
stabilization of a more serious mental health related problem. That
is, to provide payment for inpatient stabilization for psychiatric
patients aged 21 to 64 who express suicidal or homicidal gestures
and are considered a danger to themselves or others. By allowing
coverage for inpatient admission for emergency psychiatric
treatment otherwise prohibited by the Medicaid institutions for
mental diseases exclusion, the Demonstration may improve access to
appropriate psychiatric care, improve quality of care for Medicaid
patients, and encourage greater availability of inpatient
psychiatric beds, thereby reducing the necessity of psychiatric
boarding. As a condition for receiving payment under this
Demonstration, a State shall be responsible for collecting and
reporting information to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) about the conduct of the Demonstration in the State
for the purposes of providing Federal oversight and the evaluation
of the Demonstration and required to cooperate with the CMS
evaluation team. CMS is also required to submit to Congress, a
recommendation as to whether the Demonstration project should be
continued after December 31, 2013, and expanded on a national
basis. The statute requires that a State seeking to participate in
this Demonstration project shall submit an application that
includes such information, provisions, and assurances necessary to
assess the State's ability to conduct the Demonstration as compared
with other State applicants. The State Medical Director will submit
the Demonstration application proposal.
