Description

The Department of Health and Human Services intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. Background Since the authorization of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Demonstration under the Section 223 of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) of 2014 (Public Law 113-93), states have had the opportunity to learn about, plan for, and/or begin implementing the CCBHC model in a variety of ways. PAMA established the CCBHC Demonstration Program to improve access to and the quality of community-based behavioral health services. In 2015, as stipulated in PAMA, HHS published federal CCBHC certification criteria to serve as the basis for which states would certify community mental health services as CCBHCs. In 2016, SAMHSA awarded planning grants to 24 states to help states plan for and prepare to participate in the CCBHC Demonstration Program in the following ways: develop and certify CCBHCs, establish prospective payment systems, improve data collection and reporting, and engage stakeholders in state implementation of the CCBHC model. Of the 24 planning grant states, eight states were selected through a competitive process by CMS to participate in the Demonstration Program in 2017, and an additional 2 states were added in 2020. Some states that did not participate in the Demonstration Program continued to explore implementation of CCBHCs outside of the program. In 2018, SAMHSA launched the CCBHC-Expansion grant program, with awards made directly to community-based service providers to support the local implementation of the CCBHC model.� Currently, some states have developed a solid infrastructure for certification and implementation of CCBHCs and for prospective payment through the Medicaid Demonstration. Other states have developed some infrastructure and are interested in expanding capacity. Additional states are interested in the best way to interact with and support SAMHSA CCBHC Expansion grantees.� In some cases, states have expressed interest in the CCBHC model, but are very early in the process. This current environment provides an opportunity for states to assess what has been learned from CCBHC programs over the last few years, to network and share with each other, and to begin developing capacity for certifying and implementing CCBHCs where these don�t exist. Scope of Work The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) requires the service of a contractor to provide TA to States related to Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs). See attached State me of work for more details.
