Illinois SB3751 proposes Medicaid rate increases for Assertive Community Treatment and Community Support Team services, subject to federal approval and appropriations.
Proposed Medicaid funding change
According to the Illinois General Assembly, SB3751 is an introduced bill that would amend the Rebuild Illinois Mental Health Workforce Act. The proposal was introduced on February 5, 2026, by Sen. Laura Fine.
The Illinois General Assembly states that the bill would increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for Assertive Community Treatment and Community Support Team services. The increase would apply to dates of service on and after July 1, 2026, if the measure receives federal approval.
Funding would depend on appropriations
Under the bill synopsis published by the Illinois General Assembly, the amount of any rate increase would be tied to money appropriated for the purposes listed in the Act. The proposal does not state a specific dollar increase for Assertive Community Treatment or Community Support Team services in the supplied bill extract.
The Illinois General Assembly also lists July 1, 2026, as the bill’s effective date. However, SB3751 remains a proposed measure and is not enacted law, according to the source extract.
Existing community mental health payment adjustments
The Illinois General Assembly explains that Section 20-10 of the Rebuild Illinois Mental Health Workforce Act addresses Medicaid funding for specified community mental health services. Under that section, payments for listed services are adjusted and paid as set out in the Act.
According to the Illinois General Assembly, those payments are made in addition to base Medicaid reimbursement rates and add-on payment rates for each service unit. Existing adjustments began on July 1, 2022, for State Fiscal Year 2023 and continue in each State fiscal year thereafter.
The source also identifies existing minimum increases for some services: no less than $9 per service unit for individual therapy billed under H0004 when provided by a qualified mental health professional or mental health professional, and no less than $15 per service unit for community support-individual services billed under H2015.

If enacted and federally approved, SB3751 could change Medicaid payment rates for the specified community-based services.
