Texas SB236 amends Medicaid managed care contracts to allow for evidence-based non-medical services in lieu of traditional mental health or substance.

Texas SB236 modifies the state Medicaid plan to permit managed care organizations to offer evidence-based health-related non-medical services instead of certain mental health or substance use disorder services. The bill requires contracts to include language allowing these alternative services, which must be cost-effective and approved by the Medicaid managed care advisory committee.
