Relating to the provision of certain mental and behavioral health services under Medicaid, Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for those services, and the regulation of psychiatric residential treatment facilities; requiring an occupational license.

HB 5030 updates Texas Medicaid rules for mental and behavioral health services by defining key terms like "crisis services" (including mobile crisis support), "intensive outpatient services" (requiring specific counseling types), and "partial hospitalization services." It requires occupational licensing for psychiatric residential treatment facilities serving individuals 21 or younger, clarifying that these facilities must provide care in non-hospital residential settings. The bill directly affects Medicaid providers, mental health service organizations, and psychiatric facilities seeking to operate under Texas regulations. These changes aim to standardize service definitions and enhance oversight for youth mental health care under Medicaid. (Note: This bill is new, with no votes or passage history as of its March 2025 filing.)
