Sustainable funds are at the heart of any non-profit organization’s stability – sustainable funding allows the strategic continuation of the organization’s primary mission, which in the case of the Recovery Community Organization, is to promote community-based recovery supports for those it serves. Specifically, RCOs provide a place for recovery to support to occur and provide staff who offer that support with constancy. The space and staff require funding and one of the most stable healthcare fund sources in the country is the Medicaid program.
Join us for this 1-hour virtual session to explore the risks and benefits for Recovery Community Organizations to bill Medicaid for the delivery of Peer Recovery Support Services. In this session, we will provide an introduction to Medicaid funding models and describe ways for RCOs to assess and consider whether Medicaid is a possible and feasible alternative within the RCO's state Medicaid plan and culture.
