The 2021 Legislature passed a requirement that DHS conduct this analysis. It is to include a look at rates for behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, and residential substance use disorder treatment.
As part of the development of the request for proposal (RFP) for the analysis, DHS seeks feedback on deliverables from stakeholders. DHS staff is also planning to solicit written feedback but is still working on setting up an email inbox for this project.
