Clubhouse-based psychosocial rehabilitation programs.
HB 257 requires Wyoming's Medicaid program to cover clubhouse-based psychosocial rehabilitation services, which are community programs run by members with staff support to help people with mental health conditions rebuild social connections, find housing, and gain employment skills. It directly affects Medicaid beneficiaries with mental health needs and certified clubhouse providers who can now receive state reimbursement. The bill mandates the Department of Health to include these services in Medicaid, enter contracts with providers (within funding limits), and report annually to the legislature on program outcomes. This policy change expands Medicaid coverage to specifically include these community-based support services, as defined in the bill.
