Applauds Continuation of $100 Million in Funding to Fight the Opioid Crisis in Governor
Murphy’s Proposed Budget
The New Jersey
Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies (NJAMHAA) applauds the
continuation of both this year’s $100 million in funding to fight the opioid
crisis and the rate increases for psychiatric diagnostic evaluations with and
without medical services in outpatient mental health programs, which will go
into effect on April 1, 2019, in Gov. Murphy’s proposed FY2020 budget.
As mental
illnesses also commonly occur along with intellectual and developmental
disabilities, NJAMHAA commends Gov. Murphy on the proposed increased funding
for the Division of Developmental Disabilities that includes $7 million in
state funds and an additional $2.5 million in federal funds for crisis stabilization
programs, as well as funding for a pilot Behavioral Health Home program for
individuals with dual diagnoses.
NJAMHAA is also
pleased that Gov. Murphy directs the Department of Human Services, Department
of Banking and Insurance and Treasury Department to examine insurance plans’
compliance with the parity law, which requires benefits for mental health and
substance use services to be at the same level as those for medical and
surgical services, and to develop plans for more strictly enforce parity in the
future.
