Supporting an all-payer crisis continuum of care and Medicaid reform; and urging the Governor to direct the Department of Health and the division of insurance to develop recommendations for an all-payer model for crisis care.
This non-binding resolution (SCR 2) urges Alaska's Governor to direct the Department of Health and the Division of Insurance to develop recommendations for an "all-payer" model to fund crisis mental health services. It addresses gaps where Medicaid doesn't cover all crisis care costs (like transportation or mobile team operations) and where commercial insurers aren't required to cover these services consistently. The resolution supports creating a system where multiple insurers share costs for crisis care, including a potential monthly assessment on commercial plans, to ensure stable funding for providers. It directly affects crisis care providers, insurers, and Alaskans needing behavioral health services by aiming to replace unstable grant funding with a sustainable model. The resolution does not create new law but calls for recommendations to improve crisis care financing.
