Cov Chaw Saib Xyuas Kev Kawm Hauv Zos (LEA) Pom zoo los koom nrog CYBHI Cov Nqi Them Ntau Tus Nqi

On December 1, DHCS announced the first cohort of 47 LEAs (across 25 counties) approved to participate in the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) statewide multi-payer school-linked fee schedule, which will launch in January 2024, and statewide provider network. As part of the CYBHI, DHCS is expanding access to school-based (or school-linked) behavioral health services provided to students at a school site. Specifically, DHCS, in collaboration with the Department of Managed Health Care and California Department of Insurance, is establishing a statewide multi-payer school-linked fee schedule to reimburse school-linked providers for the provision of specified outpatient mental health and substance use disorder services furnished to students 25 years of age or younger at a school site. A fee schedule establishes a scope of services (e.g., psychoeducation, screening/assessment, treatment, and care coordination services), identifies billing codes and rates, and specifies provider types eligible to bill for services. Under state law, Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCP), commercial health plans, and disability insurers are obligated to reimburse eligible school-linked providers, including LEAs (e.g., services performed by pupil personnel services credentialed practitioners) and school-linked affiliated community-based organizations.
