Limited funding is available for hospitals to receive reimbursement of expenditures related to extended stays of qualifying individuals receiving Department of Mental Health (DMH) services. Reimbursement is considered for individuals eligible for hospital discharge but not discharged for a specified period of time due to a lack of availability within an appropriate community placement. The eligibility criteria for individuals and list of required documentation are outlined in the Post Discharge Hospital Reimbursement Memo.
DMH will accept requests for reimbursement at DMH.PPD.Payment@dmh.mo.gov between April 1, 2025 and April 30, 2025.
