<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>. What I mean about voluntary placement funding is
that currently the state has only budgeted about 50% of the dollars needed to
fund voluntary placement (they first did this in 2005 and ran out of money after
6 months--we have a 2-year state budget, legis meets every other year. The next
legislative session doubled the funding so it was projected to run out after 12
months instead of 6 months. I don't know how fed funds work into this, I believe
some of the $$ comes out of state mental health block grant. no idea how family
income figures into voluntary placement services, I believe this was intended
for families who would not qualify for MA<FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>. .
<FONT face=Arial size=2> my state's MA reimbursement rate is 70% I
believe. </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>After some reading, I am getting the impression that
children eligible for Medicaid who need psychiatric residential treatment
facility care based on an EPSDT (early periodic screening, diagnosis, and
treatment) evaluation are entitled to the services, but I am aware of
situations in which there has been an adjudication the child is deprived based
on their special needs (there is a voluntary placement program in the state,
but funded only to about 50% of the demand for this) in order to obtain PRTF
care. Is my impression correct that there is actually (i.e. is supposed to be)
an entitlement for care if the EPSDT evaluation leads to a determination there
is a medical need for the care? </FONT></DIV>
