Request for comments on the initial
revised draft of the Update to the
Certified Community Behavioral Health
Clinics certification criteria
Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration.
ACTION: Request for Comments on the
Initial Revised Draft of the Update to the
Certified Community Behavioral Health
Clinics Certification Criteria.
AGENCY:
SAMHSA is seeking public comment
on the initial revised draft of the update
to the Certification Criteria for Certified
Community Behavioral Health Clinics
(CCBHCs). CCBHCs were established
under the Section 223 of the Protecting
Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA,
Pub. L. 113–93). Section 223 of PAMA
requires the establishment of Medicaid
demonstration programs to improve
community behavioral health services
through the development of CCBHCs.
CCBHCs are required to provide a
comprehensive array of coordinated
services to anyone who requests care for
mental health or substance use,
regardless of ability to pay, place of
residence, or age—including
developmentally appropriate care for
children. PAMA required the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) to develop criteria for
states to use when certifying clinics to
participate in their demonstration
programs. These criteria include six
areas: (1) staffing, (2) availability and
accessibility of services, (3) care
coordination, (4) scope of services, (5)
quality and other reporting, and (6)
organizational authority. The current
Certification Criteria can be found at:
https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/
files/programs_campaigns/ccbhccriteria.pdf.
There have been significant
developments in the CCBHC program
and in the broader mental health and
substance use disorder field since the
development of the existing
Certification Criteria. States and
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
providers now have six years of
experience with the CCBHC model and
lessons learned related to the
implementation of the Certification
Criteria. SAMHSA is seeking to make
minor revisions to the Criteria to
respond to these developments and
lessons learned, while still maintaining
the overarching requirements for
program areas and scope of services
outlined in PAMA.
To develop the initial draft of the
updated CCBHC Criteria, SAMHSA
gathered input in several ways. Public
opportunities for input were posted on
https://www.samhsa.gov/certifiedcommunity-behavioral-health-clinics/
ccbhc-criteria-update-announcements.
Public meeting dates and virtual
locations were disseminated through
SAMHSA listservs. On November 17,
2022, SAMHSA held a virtual public
listening session open to the public to
provide input on the existing CCBHC
Criteria. SAMHSA also accepted written
input from the public and stakeholders
sent to ccbhccriteria@samhsa.hhs.gov
by November 21, 2022. In addition to
public outreach, SAMHSA also received
feedback on potential revisions to the
existing CCBHC Criteria from key
stakeholders and federal partners.
The initial draft of the updated
CCBHC Criteria will be available for
public comment before the end of
December 2022 and will be open to midJanuary 2023. Information on CCBHC
Criteria updates and the process to
support them is available at: https://
www.samhsa.gov/certified-communitybehavioral-health-clinics/ccbhc-criteriaupdate-announcements. The posting of
the initial draft of the updated CCBHC
Criteria will also be announced through
SAMHSA’s listserv, CCBHC Training
and Technical Assistance grant
program, and CCBHC State Technical
Assistance contract. SAMHSA requests
all comments to the initial draft of the
updated CCBHC Criteria be sent to
ccbhccriteria@samhsa.hhs.gov.
Authority: Section 223 of the
Protecting Access to Medicare Act
(2014), as amended.
