No. If a provider or practitioner (e.g., a primary care physician or school nurse) specifically refers an individual to an MCP for NSMHS or to a BHP for SMHS based on an understanding of the individual’s needs, the MCP/BHP is not required to use the Screening Tools.​​ 

MCPs/BHPs should follow existing protocols for provider referrals in these scenarios. For example, counties may have established referral pathways whereby schools or other service providers that have already conducted some level of screening send individuals who likely require SMHS to the BHP, or MCPs may be contacted by individuals who have been referred by their provider specifically for individual psychotherapy services. If the referral already includes sufficient information about the individual’s needs, additional screening is not required.​​

In certain circumstances, the MCP or BHP may override the Screening Tool score when the result is inconsistent with the member’s clinical presentation (e.g., the Screening Tool score does not capture the need for specialty mental health services (SMHS) in members who are unable to respond to the Screening Tool questions due to serious mental health symptoms). Overriding the Screening Tool score shall only be conducted by specified practitioners of SMHS as defined in the State Plan or specified practitioners of non-specialty mental health services (NSMHS). MCPs/BHPs are responsible for ensuring that all practitioners deliver services within their scope of practice under California law. See APL 25-010 and BHIN 25-020 for MCP/BHP practitioner types that may override the Screening Tool score.​​ 

Cov kws kho mob puas siab puas ntsws tshwj xeeb lossis tsis yog tshwj xeeb puas raug tso cai hla cov qhab nia Kev Ntsuas?​​

Puas Muaj Peev Xwm Tswj Xyuas Kev Npaj (MCPs) / Kev Npaj Kho Tus Cwj Pwm (BHPs) ntxiv ib ntu rau Cov Cuab Yeej Kev Ntsuas nrog cov ntaub ntawv pov thawj?​​ 

No. MCPs/BHPs should not alter the content of the Screening Tool forms. MCPs and BHPs must record overrides as well as the rationale through the MCP/BHP’s preferred monitoring method (Electronic Health Records (EHRs), excel spreadsheets, etc.). Override rationale and other information (additional override notes) should be shared when referring a member to the appropriate Medi-Cal mental health delivery system following administration of the Screening Tool​​ 

Puas muaj ib txoj hauv kev muab qhab nia rau Kev Hloov Kho Cov Cuab Yeej?​​ 

No. The Transition of Care Tool supports timely and coordinated care when adding a service from the other Medi-Cal mental health delivery system (i.e., Managed Care Plan (MCP) or Behavioral Health Plan (BHP)) or completing a transition of care to the other Medi-Cal mental health delivery system. The tool does this by providing a standardized process for sharing information and facilitating timely coordination across delivery systems. The tool is not meant to be diagnostic, and it is also not meant to replace existing DHCS criteria for access to specialty and non-specialty mental health services. MCPs and BHPs should follow existing access criteria and processes when determining whether a transition of care to, or addition of services from, the other delivery system is necessary for a member. Importantly, the determination as to whether a transition of care or addition of services should occur must be made by a clinician. This approach preserves flexibility for MCPs and BHPs; if an MCP or BHP uses an existing rubric that aligns with the access criteria, this policy does not prohibit them from continuing to use it to support determination of whether a referral for a transition of care to, or addition of services from, the individual’s MCP or BHP is needed. Once a determination has been made to transition care to, and/or add services from, the other delivery system, MCPs and BHPs are required to use the Transition of Care Tool to facilitate the referral.​​ 

Puas Muaj Peev Xwm Tswj Xyuas Kev Npaj (MCPs) thiab Kev Npaj Kho Tus Cwj Pwm (BHPs) siv cov rubric lossis cov txheej txheem thaum ua tiav Cov Kev Hloov Kho Kev Kho Mob?​​

DHCS txhawb MCPs thiab BHPs los tsim cov txheej txheem hauv zos los daws qhov xwm txheej no thiab hloov kho lawv cov P&Ps thiab MOUs kom ntseeg tau tias ua raws.​​ 

What should a Behavioral Health Plan (BHP) do if a Medi-Cal member’s screening score requires a referral to a Managed Care Plan (MCP), but the member is not enrolled in an MCP?​​ 

If a Medi-Cal member’s screening score requires a referral to an MCP but the Medi-Cal member is not enrolled in an MCP, the BHP must provide an assessment or facilitate enrollment in an MCP and coordinate the Medi-Cal member’s referral to ensure a timely clinical assessment.​​ 

Raws li Txoj Cai Tsis Muaj Qhov Rooj Rau Kev Kho Mob Puas Hlwb hauv APL 22-005 thiab BHIN 22-011, BHPs tuaj yeem tau txais cov nyiaj them rov qab rau qhov kev ntsuam xyuas thiab cov kev pabcuam uas tau muab rau lub sijhawm ntsuas, tsis hais seb qhov kev ntsuam xyuas tau ua raws li cov txheej txheem kev xa mus rau lwm qhov.
