The CHAT Program “wraps an extra layer of help and care” around people who are enrolled. It is a benefit for people with Medicaid and certain mental health conditions. The CHAT Program includes a Comprehensive Health Assistance Team who will work with you to coordinate, support, and help manage your health care and other day-to-day needs that impact your health.
With this extra support, you can take control of your care.
