Hello Association Executives:
Happy Friday! In January, we discussed both SAMHSA guidance on 988 that included CCBHC as well as the CMS guidance on the 85% enhanced FMAP for mobile crisis response and how it connects to 988 and CCBHC. This brief, conceptual document (linked below) pulls together these different publications and the CCBHC requirements overall. As you converse with your state leaders (e.g., Medicaid Directors, Behavioral Health Commissioners, Legislators) about those three topics, this should be a big help!
Here is the link to this 988, Mobile Crisis Response and CCBHC connection publication: https://www.thenationalcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/988-and-Mobile-Crisis-Response-with-the-CCBHC-Model-.pdf?daf=375ateTbd56
In connection with these topics, we hosted a webinar this Wednesday. I wanted to provide additional links:
- CCBHC and Justice Systems Webinar
- CCBHCs and the Justice System Report
- 988-CCBHC Landing page
Thank you! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
