Iowa expands mental health care access by removing 10-day treatment limit; Illinois considers similar reforms.
Iowa lawmakers are advancing legislation to expand subacute mental health care, removing a 10-day treatment limit and improving access to short-term, intensive care.
The bill, backed by advocates like Mary Neubauer following her son’s suicide, aims to address critical gaps in the state’s mental health system.
While the measure passed unanimously in a House subcommittee and is moving through the Senate, it faces opposition from some insurers and Medicaid managed care groups concerned about costs and medical necessity.
Meanwhile, Illinois is considering bills to improve mental health and substance use disorder care, including requiring insurers to fund crisis services and eliminating prior authorization for treatment.
