The Grantee will purchase psychiatric medications for consumers who are in emergent situations and are likely, without needed medications, to require more expensive and intensive services (such as hospitalization). An emergent situation is defined as an immediate need for psychiatric medication to prevent exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms for an individual who is without the funds to purchase them, and is not eligible for Medicaid, or if eligible for Medicaid, is not able to immediately access these medications using the Medicaid benefit.
