Implementation of a state process for reviewing residential treatment providers to ensure compliance with these standards All community SUD programs seeking certification under Wisconsin’s administrative code are certified by (DQA). DQA conducts site visits and documentation review to ensure providers comply with these standards. DQA will continue to certify SUD treatment programs and monitor their compliance with state regulations. No immediate action. Implementation of requirement that residential treatment facilities offer MAT on-site or facilitate access off site. There are no current requirements that residential treatment facilities offer MAT on-site or facilitate access off site. The Wisconsin Division of Medicaid Services is working with partners in DCTS and DQA to determine the appropriate regulatory or policy document to establish a requirement for residential treatment facilities to offer MAT on-site or facilitate access off site. Staff will consider available options, including establishing regulatory requirements in state administrative code or reimbursement requirements in Medicaid coverage policies. Staff will assess the impact of the options on current and potential treatment programs and determine which approach will maximize the availability of residential SUD treatment in Wisconsin while ensuring individuals in treatment have access to evidence-based treatment approaches. DHS staff will implement the requirement by November 2020.
