As Pennsylvania prepares to implement outpatient alignment reviews under the substance use disorder (SUD) 1115 waiver, representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) and Mercer will provide an overview of the upcoming review process and what providers can expect on Monday, September 14.

 

This session will highlight recent updates, explain the purpose and structure of outpatient alignment reviews, and discuss how the review process will be implemented moving forward. Participants will gain insight into review expectations and have the opportunity to hear directly from those leading implementation efforts.
