Program Highlights
Services may be provided to individuals who are eligible for enrollment into a Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) plan.
HARP enrollment is open to Medicaid beneficiaries age 21 and older with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders.
HARP members will be required to be assessed for BH HCBS eligibility using the New York State (NYS) Community Mental Health Eligibility Assessment.
The NYS Eligibility Assessment will determine if an individual is eligible for BH HCBS, and if eligible, eligibility for Tier 1 or Tier 2 BH HCBS services.
Tier I services include employment, education, and peer supports. Tier 2 includes the full array of services.
OLV Human Services accepts Medicare, a federal health insurance program for people age 65 and older and people with disabilities.
Medicare covers a wide range of mental health services.
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers inpatient mental health care services you get in a hospital. Part A covers your room, meals, nursing care, and other related services and supplies.
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) helps cover mental health services that you would generally get outside of a hospital, including visits with a psychiatrist or other doctor, visits with a clinical psychologist or clinical social worker, and lab tests ordered by your doctor.
Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug ) helps cover drugs you may need to treat a mental health condition. Each Part D plan has its own list of covered drugs, known as formulary. Learn more about which plans cover various drugs.
If you get your Medicare benefits through a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) or other Medicare health plan, check your plan’s membership materials or call the plan for details about how to get your mental health benefits.
All state Medicaid programs provide some mental health services. OLV Human Services accepts Medicaid, a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with low incomes and limited resources. Medicaid programs vary from state to state.
Obamacare purchased from the Health Care Marketplaces covers Mental Health Care and Substance Use Disorder Treatment. Under the Health Care Law there are 10 categories of benefits. Mental Health Care and Substance Abuse Treatment are two of the 10.
If you have Affordable Care Act Coverage you will have mental health care coverage.
