Section 450:17-5-189 - Community-based mental health care for members of the Armed Forces and Veterans

(a) The facility is responsible for screening all individuals inquiring about services for current or past service in the US Armed Forces.

(b) The facility is responsible for intensive, community-based behavioral health care for certain members of the US Armed Forces and veterans, particularly those Armed Forces members located 50 miles or more from a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) and veterans living 40 miles or more from a Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facility.

(c) All members of the Armed Forces and veterans will be afforded the complete array of services and supports available through the CCBHC, regardless of pay source or diagnosis. Need will be determined through a thorough assessment that includes any necessary communications with and records from any part of the military or veterans systems.

(d) The CCBHC will maintain Memoranda of Agreement and letters of collaboration necessary to easily receive referrals from the military or a VA medical facility, and to obtain all needed information from them, for successful treatment of all persons currently serving in the military or veterans. If, after reasonable effort, Memoranda of Understanding or letters of collaboration cannot be obtained, the CCBHC must develop a protocol to coordinate care.

(e) Compliance with this Section shall be determined by a review of facility policies and clinical records. In addition, the ODMHSAS may conduct surveys and/or interviews, or utilize a contracted agent to conduct them.
