Rhode Island H8205 amends the Medicaid section 1115 demonstration waiver requests and renewals to update the behavioral health per-diem add on program for particularly complex patients. This includes those requiring nursing home level of care with complex needs and persistent, disruptive behaviors. The amendment aims to create a more cost-effective consumer choice system of care that is fiscally sound and sustainable, reducing the number of days these patients spend in acute care facilities.
