WHAT IS A CCBHC? A Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic model designed to ensure access to coordinated comprehensive behavioral health care. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA, P.L. 113-93), Section 223, directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to publish criteria for clinics to be certified as Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs). 2015, HHS issued the original CCBHC certification criteria. The criteria established a set of uniform standards that providers must meet to be a CCBHC. Since 2015, a lot has been learned about implementing the CCBHC model. Developments and advancements in the mental health and substance use disorder field have also created a need to update the criteria in several areas. March 2023 HHS released an updated version of the criteria CCBHCs are required to serve anyone who requests care for mental health or substance use, regardless of their ability to pay, place of residence, or age - including developmentally appropriate care for children and youth CCBHCs must meet standards for the range of services they provide and they are required to get people into care quickly. An important feature of the CCBHC model is that it requires crisis services that are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CCBHCs are required to provide a comprehensive array of behavioral health services so that people who need care don't have to piece together the behavioral health support they need across multiple providers. CCBHCs must provide care coordination to help people navigate behavioral health care, physical health care, social services, and the other systems they are involved in. Slide 33
HOW DID WE GET HERE? The original project was begun in 2015 when the Department applied for a SAMHSA Planning Grant for the implementation of CCBHC. Eight (8) original CSBs were slated to become CCBHCs - Chesapeake Integrated behavioral Health - Colonial Behavioral Health - Harrisonburg-Rockingham CSB - Mount Rogers Community Services - Rappahannock Area CSB - Cumberland Mountain CSB - New River Valley Community Services - Richmond Behavioral Health Authority The Department was not awarded a Planning Grant or offered an Implementation Grant and the project was halted Slide 34
Planning grant not awarded HOW DID WE GET HERE? Can we still apply for CCBHC Demonstration grant? Where do we go now? Slide 35
