CCBHC Demonstration for Indiana
Big news: Indiana was selected as a demonstration site for the next rollout of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC)! The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced Indiana as one of 10 additional states that will now be eligible to receive Medicaid reimbursements under the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Demonstration Program.
According to a news release from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), a CCBHC is a specially designated clinic that provides a comprehensive range of mental health and addiction services. CCBHCs serve all people, regardless of their diagnosis, insurance status, place of residence or age.
“Indiana has already made great strides in increasing access to crisis care for Hoosiers,” FSSA Secretary
Dan Rusyniak, M.D., says. “The move toward a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic model will
further increase access to quality behavioral health care across Indiana.”
