Presented by Suzanne Fields Senior Consultant, Technical Assitance Collaborative

Tuesday February 21, 2012 

Health care reform, as envisioned under the Affordable Care Act, could have the most profound effect on access to health care services, including substance abuse and mental health services, since the implementation of Medicare almost 50 years ago. What are the implications of health care reform for families in the child welfare system with substance use disorders?How can substance abuse and mental health systems and providers take best advantage of new Medicaid eligibility, benefit design, parity and primary health integration efforts to affect access to treatment for parents in the child welfare system? This session will identify health care reform issues that can potentially impact families in the child welfare system, and opportunities to engage in the dialogue to inform policy at a state level.
