Project Description:

This project consists of a program evaluation of Montana's Section 1115(a) Medicaid waiver, titled the "Healing and Ending Addiction through Recovery and Treatment" Demonstration, or "HEART." This evaluation project will assess the institutions for mental disease (IMD) portion of the HEART demonstration, with additional waiver components added to the evaluation project as Montana receives approval from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS). The goal of the HEART demonstration is for the state to enhance access to mental health services, opioid use disorder, and other substance use disorder services and to provide a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health services and treatment to Medicaid beneficiaries with SUD. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of this demonstration project in meeting its population health goals.
