CMS Released FAQs on Parity Final Rule for Medicaid and CHIP
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a new set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Rule for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Under the March 2016 final rule, CMS applied certain mental health and substance use disorder parity provisions of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) to the coverage provided to enrollees of Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs), Medicaid alternative benefit plans (ABPs), and CHIP to ensure that financial requirements and treatment limitations on mental health and substance use disorder benefits generally are no more restrictive than the requirements and limitations that apply to medical and surgical benefits in these programs.

CMS has received a number of questions regarding this final rule, and the purpose of this FAQ document is to capture the most common questions and concerns that have been identified by states and stakeholders.

Upcoming Webinar - Neurocounceling: Bridging the Recovery Gap
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
Wed, November 8, 2017 @ 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET
(2 CT/1 MT/12 PT)

Presented by Christine Chasek, Ph.D., LIMHP, LADC, MAC, LPC, this webinar will cover the basics of neurocounseling and highlight two interventions that addiction counselors can use in their practice. Neurocounseling is a relatively new approach in addiction treatment that has been shown to be effective for a variety of addiction-related issues including recovery management and relapse prevention. Addiction counselors can help clients bridge the gap between brain and behavior by becoming “brain-wise” and using neurocounseling interventions that target recovery and relapse prevention.

To apply for the certificate, candidates must provide evidence of specific education and experience, including successful completion of a CTTTP-accredited Tobacco Treatment Specialist training program and hours of tobacco treatment practice experience following completion of the training. In addition, candidates must be tobacco-free for a minimum of six months and must agree to adhere to the Tobacco Treatment Provider Code of Ethics. A full list of specific eligibility and application requirements can be found on the NCTTP web page.

The initial test-exempt offering of this Certificate will be available until April 15, 2018. Applications postmarked after April 15, 2018 will require successful completion of an examination to be awarded the certificate.
