Individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid), Public Employees Benefits Board, and School Employees Benefits Board coverage - and those accessing behavioral health services - will not experience a disruption in care due to the federal government shutdown. In addition, health care providers will continue to be paid for the services they provide. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and share updates if anything changes.
The Health Care Authority (HCA) provides funding and oversight for mental health services for people enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid).

At least once a year, a voluntary survey will be sent to see how you or your family member feels about the services you received. If you are contacted please take the time to respond. Your voice is the best way to improve the quality of your care. Any information you provide will be confidential.
Our health is deeply influenced by our connections with our community. The places with live, work, learn and gather all play a role in shaping our mental well-being. During this year's Mental Health Month, HCA encourages individuals to Empower Minds, Strengthen Communities, as we explore parts of our community and its effect on our mental health and well-being. This toolkit offers practical resources to support your mental health and that of your community.
