Dear Association Executives - Attached please find guidance on the addition of CCBHCs to existing state demonstration programs.
Last summer, HHS shared that states currently in the CCBHC Medicaid Demonstration would be able to add clinics to the demonstration, allowing those bundled services to receive the PPS rate and an enhanced FMAP.
If you, your members, or your state partners have any questions on the attached guidance, please email the CCBHC team at SAMHSA at CCBHC@samhsa.hhs.gov and include "Addition of CCBHCs to State Demo Programs" in the subject line. SAMHSA is also in the process of posting this guidance to the SAMHSA website at https://www.samhsa.gov/section-223.
Of course, the National Council team is also always available to support you with any questions on this.
