Institute for Mental Illness - IMD Institute for Mental Disease – IMD ( effective 1965) What is in the law? The IMD exclusion is found in section 1905(a)(B) of the Social Security Act, which prohibits “payments with respect to care or services for any individual who has not attained 65 years of age and who is a patient in an institution for mental diseases” except for “inpatient psychiatric hospital services for individuals under age 21.” The law goes on to define “institutions for mental diseases” as any “hospital, nursing facility, or other institution of more than 16 beds, that is primarily engaged in providing diagnosis, treatment, or care of persons with mental diseases, including medical attention, nursing care, and related services.” The IMD exclusion was intended to ensure that states, rather than the federal government, would have principal responsibility for funding inpatient psychiatric services.
Another Gap AddressedASAM 4.0 WM- Medically Managed Intensive Inpatient • Requested 30 days in an IMD, when there is a SUD diagnosis, from the federally-allowed “in lieu of service” of 15 days/month that MCOs are able to provide for adults 21 – 64 • CMS: “States cannot allow for mental illness; only for SUD” • Wrote State Plan Amendment to allow for FFS as well as MCO
