Thank you for your past commitment to strengthening our state’s mental health care system.

I urge you to stand by that commitment by ensuring that the language of Senate Bill 128 is preserved in the final version of the budget as the State Senate intended.

Enhanced care coordination, or "wraparound," is an empowering program for families navigating complex systems while caring for a child with intensive behavioral health needs. Wraparound helps families identify their strengths and needs. It brings together a team of professionals (including other family members and service providers) to develop and support the family’s plan so the child can remain at home and avoid more costly interventions.

While Medicaid covers wraparound, it is unfortunately not covered by private insurance carriers, meaning many families face significant barriers or may not be able to access these critical services. Some children with private insurance may be able to qualify for Medicaid through a special program, but not until their mental health struggles become severe. In other cases, taxpayer money is being unnecessarily used to cover these services.

The provisions in Senate Bill 128 would require private insurance companies to help pay for these mental health services, creating a partnership between public and private insurers. This would help all New Hampshire children get the care they need, no matter what type of insurance they have.

For these reasons, I strongly urge you to preserve the language from SB 128 in the final version of the budget.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message and for your service to our state.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
