On June 27, 2025, Oklahoma submitted a request for an extension to the Medicaid section 1115(a) demonstration entitled the “Oklahoma Institutions for Mental Disease Waiver for Serious Mental Illness/Substance Use Disorder Demonstration”. This demonstration aims to provide access to mental health and substance use treatment by allowing Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for inpatient treatment services provided to eligible adults with SMI/SUD, ages 21-64, within IMDs. Through the extension of this demonstration, Oklahoma aims to continue improving access to quality behavioral health care to support the overall health of individuals diagnosed with SMI and/or SUD and improve outcomes and accessibility of SMI/SUD treatment services in a cost-effective manner. The federal comment period will be open from July 11, 2025 through August 10, 2025.
