The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) recognizes that our State is facing a public health crisis as a result of the prevalence of substance use disorder (SUD) issues. The West Virginia Bureau for Medical Services (BMS) has developed a proposal for a Medicaid Section 1115 waiver designed to establish a continuum of care for treating SUD in West Virginia. Section 1115 demonstration projects allow states to test innovative policy and delivery approaches for which states may receive federal financial participation (FFP). State Medicaid stakeholders, inclusive of providers and members, are encouraged to provide comments and feedback. Public comments may be incorporated throughout the final version of the concept paper and may influence access to care recommendations going forward.
