Medical assistance covers officer-involved community-based care coordination for individuals who screen positive for mental illness or substance use disorder, do not require detention, meet eligibility requirements, and agree to participate through a diversion contract.

Care coordination providers may be county employees or contractors, or employees/contractors of Indian health service facilities or tribe/tribal organization facilities operating under Public Law 93-638.

Qualified providers include licensed mental health professionals, mental health practitioners under supervision, certified peer specialists, qualified alcohol and drug counselors, or recovery peers under supervision.

Reimbursement is allowed for up to 60 days following initial determination of eligibility, and providers must annually report the number of individuals served and services accessed.

Counties must provide the nonfederal share of costs from sources other than federal funds or funds used to match other federal funds, effective retroactively from March 1, 2018.
