New Jersey SCR81 requests President and Congress to permit federal Medicaid funding for substance use disorder programs.

New Jersey SCR81 requests the President and Congress to amend Medicaid provisions prohibiting federal reimbursement for certain in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation and treatment programs for individuals with substance use disorder. The bill highlights the need for federal funding to support these programs, which are currently classified as Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD) and thus ineligible for federal Medicaid reimbursement.
