Relating to a ketamine treatment grant program for ketamine clinics serving active duty military personnel, first responders, and veterans.
HB 720 creates a state grant program to help ketamine clinics provide mental health treatment to active duty military personnel, first responders, and veterans. The program reimburses clinics for uncompensated care provided to these groups, covering treatment costs and related resources. Grants are administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which will set eligibility criteria and monitor recipients. The bill specifically focuses on expanding access to ketamine-based mental health services for these priority populations, with no mention of cost-sharing or patient eligibility requirements.
