On November 24, 2009, Medicaid-eligible children with psychiatric and behavioral disorders living in Washington filed this class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Represented by Disability Rights Washington, the National Health Law Program, the National Center for Youth Law, and private counsel, the plaintiffs sued the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services under the Medicaid Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act to address the lack of community-based mental health services for Medicaid-eligible children in Washington State. The plaintiffs claimed that the state's system for providing Medicaid-funded services to children with mental health needs violated the Medicaid Act’s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program, which required coverage of "medically necessary" healthcare services. The case was assigned to Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue.

The plaintiffs claimed that as a result of the state's very limited mental health services, children with psychiatric disorders were often untreated or under-treated, which lead to consequences such as involvement in the child welfare system, juvenile detention, or academic failure. Because available services in the community were so limited, children often had to go to institutions to receive care. The plaintiffs alleged that such frequent institutionalization violated the integration mandate of the Americans with Disabilities Act under Olmstead.

The case was reassigned to Judge Thomas S. Zilly on January 14, 2010.

The parties engaged in discovery until, on July 23, 2010, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification. After a period of mediation, the parties entered an interim settlement agreement on March 7, 2010.

The interim agreement was scheduled to last through June 2013, but on June 28, 2013, the court agreed to a stipulation submitted by both parties to extend the interim agreement until the final Settlement Agreement was approved. The stipulation noted that both parties were cooperating and making good progress toward the final agreement. Under the interim agreement, the state began to restructure and expand mental health care programs for Medicaid-eligible children.

The plaintiffs submitted a motion for preliminary approval of a class action settlement agreement on August 29, 2013. On December 19, 2013, the court granted the joint motion for final approval of the proposed settlement but retained jurisdiction to monitor compliance. Under the settlement, Washington agreed to create a new care coordination program known as Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) to connect children with home and community-based direct services, crisis intervention services, and intensive care coordination that puts the child and their caregiver at the center of decision-making. The state also agreed to increase the number of children who can access services over the next five years and submit a plan for fulfilling the rest of their obligations to the court. The state further agreed to give yearly status reports to the court and pay $3.1 million to the plaintiffs for attorneys' fees and costs. The agreement was set to last until June 2018.

On November 16, 2015, the defendants submitted a status report on their progress towards accomplishing the goals of their settlement. The report claimed that some children were already having some success in WISe or "WISe-like" programs but that the program has not yet reached the scope required under the settlement agreement. As of November 16, 2015, 19 Washington counties offered the program. The goal was to equip all 39 of the counties with WISe programs before the agreement would be terminated in June of 2018.

On November 15, 2018, the defendants submitted another status report on their progress towards accomplishing the goals of their settlement, focusing on progress between 2017-18. The report noted that as of November 15, 2018, the state of Washington anticipated achieving substantial compliance by June 30, 2019, a delay from the original anticipated completion date of June 2018. As of June 2018, all of Washington’s 39 counties had started implementing WISe programs, and the state was meeting 88% of the monthly substantial compliance caseload target. But the state was still working to build sufficient provider capacity and to meet monthly caseload target numbers.

In 2019, the parties agreed to a one-year extension to June 30, 2020, because Washington needed additional time to meet the exit criteria established in the settlement agreement. On September 12, 2019, the defendants agreed to pay an additional $310,000 in attorneys’ fees for costs incurred over the prior year.

The defendants filed their sixth annual status report on December 30, 2019. The report noted that more children were receiving WISe services and the number of monthly service hours per child was increasing. The report also laid out the state's plans going forward with the goal of exiting the settlement agreement by June 30, 2020. These steps included offering concurrent access to WISe to children in Behavioral Rehabilitation Services and maintaining the minimum required nine service hours a month per child.

On September 14, 2020, the court ordered the defendants to pay $210,000 in attorneys' fees and costs for the previous year.

The parties filed a stipulation regarding Partial Exit and Extension of Settlement Agreement on July 1, 2020. The defendants successfully exited from 24 of the 29 settlement agreement exit criteria. They implemented consistent procedures to identify children for the WISe services, achieved improved outcomes for youths in the WISe programs, and provided access and services to youth jointly served by BRS and behavioral health agencies. They were granted an extension through June 2021 to demonstrate substantial compliance with the five remaining exit criteria.

The defendants filed another status report on January 13, 2021, stating that the parties had discussed the status of the remaining exit criteria and stated that they anticipated fully meeting the criteria in the settlement agreement by June 30, 2021. The defendants needed to increase WISe caseloads in some regions, offer the full WISe services statewide, and increase monthly caseload statewide. The report also described the impact COVID-19 had on the state's progress and how they were responding to the pandemic.

On August 26, 2021, the court ordered the defendant pay the plaintiffs an additional $65,841.85 in attorney's fees and costs from the prior year.

On September 2, 2021, the parties stipulated that the terms of the settlement agreement had been met. On September 8, the court ordered the defendants to pay $114,123.98 in attorney's fees and costs to the plaintiffs, and the court dismissed the case.
