Allowing Medicaid managed care organizations to provide social determinants of health services, such as housing, jobs, child care and more, during COVID‐19 and beyond, are one of many improvements for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 1135 waivers sought by the Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness (ABHW). The ABHW and its member companies provided recommendations urging the CMS to consider improvements not captured by the 1135 waivers or the interim final rule with comment period.
