2025 NYS Council Member Agency Survey

The NYS Council is requesting specific information from our members that we believe will enhance our advocacy campaign to secure a carve out of MH and SUD outpatient services from the state's Medicaid managed care program. Your participation is very important to this process.

If you have questions regarding any of the survey questions (below) please contact Cindy Levernois at cindy@nyscouncil.org or Lauri Cole at lauri@nyscouncil.org.

We appreciate your participation and we look forward to receiving your responses by close of business on September 10.
