The resolution supports the establishment of an all-payer crisis continuum of care and calls for Medicaid reform in Alaska. It highlights the effectiveness of existing crisis services, such as mobile crisis teams and stabilization centers, which have shown positive outcomes in both urban and rural settings. However, the resolution points out that current Medicaid reimbursement does not adequately cover all aspects of crisis care, leading to funding challenges for providers. It emphasizes the need for innovative policy solutions to streamline administrative processes and ensure sustainable funding for essential crisis services.

Furthermore, the resolution urges the Governor to direct the Department of Health and the division of insurance to collaborate with public and private payers, stakeholders, and legislative leaders to develop recommendations for an all-payer model for crisis care. This model aims to ensure that all insurers contribute to the funding of crisis services, reduce bureaucratic barriers, and prioritize flexible solutions that cater to the needs of local communities and providers. The resolution advocates for a comprehensive approach to enhance the sustainability and accessibility of crisis care in Alaska.
