Mental Health Medicaid Pharmacy Partnership

The Missouri Department of Mental Health (DMH), in collaboration with the Missouri Medicaid Program, is offering the Missouri Mental Health Medicaid Pharmacy Partnership to evaluate the use of mental health medications and to offer education when opportunities exist to improve prescribing practices. The program, which is adjunctive to other efforts in the state, aims to reduce health-care costs to Medicaid patients.
