Abstract: Policy PointsTo address persistent gaps in behavioral health care access and availability, particularly for underresourced populations, state policymakers have implemented four core strategies to address the shortage of behavioral health providers serving the Medicaid population.In this paper, we describe each of these state policy strategies, discuss their potential workforce and service impacts, and highlight unanswered questions about their effectiveness and implementation.Altogether, our review of these policy strategies suggests that rigorous evaluation of these state policy strategies is needed along with broader transformations to the behavioral health system to sustainably grow and retain the workforce in the long term.
