[This summary is temporary while we research the case]. On November 26, 2025, five individuals with severe mental health disabilities filed a putative class action lawsuit in the District of Idaho challenging Idaho's termination of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) services. The plaintiffs, individuals diagnosed with conditions including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder, brought claims against state health officials in their official capacities.

Prior to the lawsuit, Idaho's contractor Magellan Healthcare announced on October 31, 2025, that it would cease reimbursing "bundled" ACT services after December 1, 2025, effectively terminating the program since ACT services cannot maintain therapeutic effectiveness when provided as unbundled individual services.

The plaintiffs alleged this policy change violates the Americans with Disabilities Act and Rehabilitation Act, and sought injunctive relief to restore ACT services and prevent unnecessary institutionalization
