From our partners at the National Council on Mental Wellbeing:

In December, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing conducted our H.R.1 baseline member survey to measure the challenges facing clinics and provider organizations prior to this legislation’s implementation.


H.R.1 was passed by Congress and signed into law last July, making significant changes to Medicaid. Your ongoing participation in our surveys helps us assess the impact and better support you throughout its implementation.


Surveys will be conducted again following the widespread disbursement of Rural Health Transformation Program funds later this year, and in 2027, following the enactment of some of H.R.1’s most impactful provisions, like community engagement requirements and more frequent Medicaid eligibility redeterminations.


You can access the short summary of the baseline survey results.


Comparing this snapshot of the challenges facing members in the current moment to future survey results will demonstrate H.R.1’s impacts as we continue to engage policymakers.


We thank everyone who responded to the survey and helped provide this crucial data. While H.R.1 implementation may seem daunting, we are committed to providing information and resources, like our H.R.1 Implementation Journey Map and our Rural Health Transformation Program overview, to assist you throughout the process.

RCPA thanks our members for their participation in the survey. If you have additional questions, please contact RCPA COO Jim Sharp.
