This week,SpeakerBedkepulledhisbillfromconsideration. When theHouseandSen-ate Health & Welfare Com-mittees held a joint listeningsession last week, many weresurprisedtolearnthatOptumIdaho, which has been thecontractorforMedicaid-reim-bursed outpatient behavioralhealth services since Sep-tember 1st, is already havingserious problems managingpre-authorizations and otheradministrative functions.Legislators heard complaintsfrommentalhealthcaregiversaboutbeingplacedonholdforhours.

Now that legislatorshavebeenalertedtotheprob-lem,wecangoaboutworkingtowardaswiftsolution. Another development thatwill help those challengedbymental health or substanceabuse disorders is GovernorOtter’s recommendation to

fund three crisis centers inBoise, Idaho Falls and Coeurd’Alene (more communitieswould be added if the $5.1million pilot project is suc-cessful). The centers will op-erate 24/7 and trained staffwill provide immediate, risk-reduction care to individualsin crisis who heretofore wererelegatedtojails,juvenilede-tentionfacilities,oremergen-cyrooms.Providedthe fund-ingrequestpassesthroughthelegislature,thecentersshouldbeoperationalbyyear’send.
