Subject: RTI International Evaluation of Section 1115 Serious Mental Illness/Serious Emotional Disturbance Demonstrations
Dear [IMD/CMHC leader],
I am writing from RTI International regarding the meta-evaluation of the Medicaid section 1115 serious mental illness and serious emotional disturbance (SMI/SED) demonstration that we are undertaking on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). As part of the evaluation, we are conducting telephone interviews with [IMD/CMHC leadership] in states implementing SMI/SED demonstrations.
Interviews are intended to improve our understanding of the demonstration implementation on key stakeholders in the SMI/SED system. Interviews will cover reimbursement for care, patient assessments, and care coordination and transitions of care.
Information from these conversations will help CMS understand the effectiveness of these demonstrations in expanding access to mental health treatment in Medicaid. Your participation is important to helping CMS support policy and programmatic development and will complement our interviews with state Medicaid directors.
The telephone interview will take no more than 60 minutes. Below we provide some potential dates and times for the call. If none of these options work for you, please provide some alternatives, and we will accommodate your schedule. If there is another person at your organization who would be more appropriate for this conversation, please provide us with their contact information.
Day of week m/dd - time
