Funding for Unfunded People
Historically, CMHC could use efficiencies in their Medicaid operations to extend services to unfunded or under-funded clients including IP service
In 2004, this practice was disallowed, and all Medicaid funds needed to be expended on Medicaid clients only

Funding for Unfunded People
Utah’s mental health system lost access to over $7 million in federal fund that had been available to provide services to non-Medicaid population.
Thousands of Utah residents were unable to access to services because they did not meet the requirements to qualify for Medicaid, increasing the service gap for uninsured and underinsured population.
