州政府補償計畫利用新資源在早期取得的正面成果上更進一步​​ 

Sacramento —— California學校長期以來一直致力於滿足學生的心理健康需求，而Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) ) 正在通過一項新的可持續資金Program來支持這些努力，該計劃已經顯示出令人鼓舞的結果。​​   

透過兒童和青少年行為健康倡議 (CYBHI) 收費Program ，地方教育機構 (LEA)（包括California公立 K-12 學區、特許學校和縣教育局）以及公立高等教育機構 (IHE)（包括公立社區學院和大學）可以註冊參與心理健康和藥物濫用篩檢、治療和個案管理的報銷途徑。 這為校內託管服務創造了可持續的資金來源。這項創新的多方付費Program打破了障礙，將學生放在首位，為尋求心理健康幫助的青少年創造了更順暢的體驗。 已有超過 500 家地方教育機構和高等教育機構註冊並積極加入。​​  

儘管仍處於實施初期，這項全國首創的努力已展現出積極成果：學校及其合作夥伴已獲得超過 180 萬美元的新資金，用於為 5,000 多名學生提供服務。截至 10 月 15 日，55 個 LEA 和 IHE 已透過計劃提交超過 26,000 份索賠，代表 32 個 Medi-Cal 管理性護理計劃和其他保險公司，包括商業計劃。這些成果反映了自參與者首次有資格取得服務帳單後，在短短一年多的時間內所取得的重大進展。​​  

“Schools are often the first place students turn to for support,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Through the CYBHI Fee Schedule program, we’re helping schools meet that need by easing financial pressures and building a sustainable foundation for student mental health services, so every student has access to care when and where they need it.”​​  

“We were lucky enough to be the first to successfully submit a service for billing, and we actually got our first check. It was only $77, but it was a big milestone,” said Nevada Joint Union High School District Director of Pupil Services Timothy Reid. As of November 3, the district had been reimbursed more than $30,000. Since the first claim was submitted in December 2024, the average reimbursement for an LEA/IHE is nearly $50,000, and multiple LEAs are nearing being reimbursed $1 million through the program.​​  

新資源和宣傳活動：為了支持Program實施， DHCS推出了面向公眾和提供者的新資訊和資源，以幫助學校和家庭了解和使用該Program ：​​ 

• In collaboration with LEAs, including school district and county office of education staff, DHCS released a new public education campaign for parents and caregivers. The campaign explains how the program works and encourages families to provide the students’ health coverage information and sign a consent form so students can receive services. The materials clarify that insurance information is used solely to support reimbursement, is kept confidential, and does not affect a family’s coverage or benefits. Visit dhcs.ca.gov/CYBHI for the full campaign video series, including videos in English and Spanish.​​ 
• DHCS posted an updated CYBHI Fee Schedule Program Guidance for Local Educational Agencies and Institutions of Higher Education to give LEAs and IHEs comprehensive guidance on participation.​​ 

關於 CYBHI 收費標準Program ：該Program要求Medi-Cal Managed Care計劃、 Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service提供者、商業健康保險計劃和殘疾保險公司向學校附屬提供者報銷為 26 歲以下學生提供的行為健康服務費用，家庭無需自付費用。 因此，學校現在有了一個可持續的資金來源，可以用來招募、培訓和留住員工，從而增加了獲得行為健康服務的機會。​​ 

重要性：過去十年間，青少年心理健康需求顯著增加。California學校心理學家配備比例未達到每 500 名學生配備一名的建議標準，這主要是由於成本障礙。 CYBHI 收費標準Program透過建立可持續的資金機制來提供這些服務，從而彌補這一缺口，具體措施包括資助學校服務、優先考慮早期幹預以及擴大行為健康工作者的機會，以滿足不斷增長的需求。研究表明，透過學校健康中心獲得服務的學生與較高的出席率之間存在關聯，特別是對於被診斷患有精神疾病的學生而言，這表明透過學校增加精神健康支持可能會提高出席率。​​  

他們說：「我們從California各地的學生那裡了解到，他們需要在學校等他們經常待的地方增加行為健康支持。 CYBHI 主任 Sohil Sud 博士表示：“CYBHI 收費標準Program正在響應這一號召。” “透過學校與Health Plan之間的合作與更深入的聯繫，以及可持續的資金支持，學校可以滿足最需要幫助的學生的心理健康需求。”​​ 

“Together, we have made significant strides in our efforts to transform school-based behavioral health care in California. Our progress to date is a testament to the commitment and the collaborative efforts of our school-district, managed care plan and community partners,” said Autumn Boylan, Deputy Director of DHCS’ Office of Strategic Partnerships. “With the foundation we’ve built, I am confident we will continue to succeed in making a lasting impact on the lives of students across the state.”​​ 

“Through the CYBHI Fee Schedule, our school district can continue to provide comprehensive, school-based behavioral health services, including assessments, counseling, prevention, and wellness programs, all at no cost to students and families. These funds will sustain and strengthen the vital program we have built to nurture the mental and emotional well-being of our students, while extending care to their families and our broader community,” said Jesus Chavarria, Anaheim Elementary School District Superintendent.​​ 

“CYBHI’s involvement allows us to expand the services and support we can provide,” said Matthew Zavala, Mental Health Therapist at Silver Springs High School in Grass Valley. “When I started working at this school, mental health programming was very grassroots. Now, it’s more stable and secure. It really feels like mental health is part of the school system. On a smaller scale, it’s just nice to see students find a place where they feel welcome and have a positive school experience. Seeing both of those things happen simultaneously is a very rewarding part of this job.”​​ 

BIGGER PICTURE: The CYBHI Fee Schedule is part of the state’s broader effort to transform youth mental health care into a coordinated, equitable, and prevention-focused system. The CYBHI Fee Schedule program is the CYBHI’s flagship, a more than $4 billion investment to transform behavioral health services for children, youth, and families, and it is central to the Governor’s Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health.
