ANNOUNCEMENTS
Lawmakers: Improve Access to Mental Health Drugs

As the state of California continues to move forward in supporting people with behavioral health issues, I am writing to suggest some simple, but often overlooked changes that would help people seeking treatment and the health care professionals who provide this care.

Specifically, the California Legislature is considering legislative action that would streamline the approval process for people accessing care through Medi-Cal to receive their prescribed medications for serious mental illness without undue delays.
