Everyone is worthy of affordable and accessible mental health care. For those who rely on Medicaid, many barriers prevent them from receiving mental health treatment. Low Medicaid reimbursement rates, billing issues, and payment delays dissuade providers from serving patients with this coverage. Providers that choose to accept Medicaid patients tend to overschedule and overextend their staff to compensate for low reimbursement rates. As a result, Medicaid patients often receive low-quality care compared to privately insured ones.

We must urge our elected officials to improve Medicaid reimbursement rates to eliminate the mental health care disparity. By signing this petition, you are an advocate for children, families, and individuals to receive the high-quality care they deserve. Please show your support.
