What is the due date for MH-TEDS data submission to use MH-TEDS data to populate the URS tables

States that are requesting population of URS tables from MH-TEDS data must submit a population request by February 28. States need to adhere to the data submission due date of March 1 and ensure all data covering the URS reporting period are received by the Behavioral Health Services Information System (BHSIS) Project Office. To ensure that the state data are successfully accepted and processed by the BHSIS Project Office by March 14, any data issues identified by the BHSIS Project Office must be addressed expeditiously. This will allow the BHSIS Project Office to populate the URS tables in a timely manner. States that are unable to complete updates by this date must populate the affected URS tables themselves.

States must conform to the state’s URS reporting period when submitting the data. The URS reporting period can be either the calendar year or the state fiscal year, with or without a lag time. For example, if the state’s URS reporting period covers the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, then the state should ensure that all MH-TEDS admission and discharge data corresponding to this period should be submitted by the December 1, 2026, due date.

To calculate the State Hospital 30-day and 180-day Readmission Rates NOMs, states must submit records for all state hospital discharges that occurred during the reporting period plus the records for admissions that occurred in the 6 months following the end of the reporting period. This means that records for all state hospital admissions that occurred between July 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, must be submitted by March 1 of the following year (March 1, 2026).
