Page 6 Medicaid Substance Abuse Benefit Benefit will be an overlay on the current Medicaid system: STAR and STAR Plus in those applicable service areas (most urban areas); fee for service in non managed acre areas (rural areas). Project Workgroup continues to work through clinical policies. Once policies are developed and reviewed internally, there will be an effort to share them with stakeholders. Concurrent work on Medicaid state plan amendment is happening.

Phase 2 - LMHAs will submit data directly to CMBHS using data-sharing standards developed by Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN), a federal HHS initiative to provide a secure, nationwide, interoperable information infrastructure to connect providers, consumers, and others involved in healthcare. Panel of DSHS staff, providers, and vendors is being assembled to develop data-sharing standards for elements not covered by the national standards.
