County Mental Health Plan Arbitrators List
According to the California Code of Regulations, Title 9, Sections 1810.228, 1850.405, 1850.415, and 1850.420, Mental Health Plans (MHP) are required to identify at least one individual that is available to serve as an arbitrator. Under the arbitration process, the MHP of the beneficiary may be determined to be different than specified in the Medi-Cal Eligibility Data System (MEDS). The “MHP of the beneficiary” means the MHP is responsible for providing or arranging and paying for the Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) for a beneficiary.
The Medi-Cal Eligibility Data System (MEDS) identifies the MHP of the beneficiary in a field labeled “County of Responsibility.” The MHP for the county listed as the “County of Responsibility” in MEDS is the MHP responsible for providing or arranging and paying for a particular beneficiary’s SMHS, including out-of-county hospitalizations. In the event of a dispute that cannot be resolved between the MHPs, the Behavioral Health Information Notice 21-072 addresses the arbitration between MHPs and requires the implementation of an arbitrator’s decision within 14 calendar days.
