Mental health facilities; provide for licensure of certain, and provide for Medicaid coverage for services provided by the facilities.

HB 585 establishes a three-year pilot program to license and regulate two types of adult mental health facilities in Mississippi: residential treatment facilities (providing intensive, 24-hour care) and supportive residential facilities (offering less intensive, structured care). The bill requires facilities to obtain state licenses and meet specific staffing, safety, and service standards, while mandating Medicaid coverage for services provided by these facilities. It also sets initial fee schedules for four care levels and directs Medicaid to seek federal waivers for implementation. The pilot is limited to 50 participants through Region 3 Community Mental Health Center.
