Dear Alaska State Behavioral Health Partner:

 

You are receiving this email because you are currently on an Alaska DHSS Division of Behavioral Health (DBH) distribution list. The DBH is creating a new resource for providers, tribal health organizations, and consumers interested in receiving news about Alaska’s Section 1115 waiver. On November 21, 2018, the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) portion of the waiver was approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The behavioral health portions of the waiver are still under negotiation.

  • Waiver news
  • State or federal policy changes
  • Training opportunities, including webinars
  • Email addresses for public comment, when applicable

 

As a subscriber to this list, you will receive e-Memos directly.
