The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is welcoming public comments on the draft SAMHSA Now Accepting Public Comments on Draft Model Behavioral Health Crisis Services Definitions.
SAMHSA developed the draft Model Behavioral Health Crisis Services Definitions document for state, territory, Tribal, and local entities; crisis services providers; public and private payers; regulators; and help seekers and their supporters to clarify and distinguish the different types of crisis services for people across the nation.
Interested people are invited to submit written comments for these draft definitions from Thursday, November 21, 2024, through Thursday, December 5, 2024, at 11:59 pm ET.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), in concert with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has issued a third extension of telemedicine flexibilities for the prescribing of controlled medications, through December 31, 2025.
In 2023, in response to a set of proposed telemedicine rules, DEA received more than 38,000 comments and held two days of public listening sessions. In light of that feedback and discussion, and to give DEA time to consider a new path forward for telemedicine, DEA and HHS extended current telemedicine flexibilities through the end of 2024.
DEA and HHS continue to carefully consider the input received and are working to promulgate a final set of telemedicine regulations. However, with the end of 2024 quickly approaching, DEA, jointly with HHS, has extended current telemedicine flexibilities through December 31, 2025. RCPA has remained active in our advocacy to make permanent the telehealth flexibility across the behavioral health landscape both federally and in Pennsylvania.
