New York was one of twenty-four states selected on October 19 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to receive a one-year planning grant to support activities around the establishment of certified community behavioral health clinics (CCBHC). The awarding of the CCBHC planning grants is the first of a two-phase process.
Phase I provides funds for one year to states to certify community behavioral health clinics, establish a PPS for Medicaid reimbursable behavioral health services provided by the certified clinics, and prepare an application to participate in a two-year demonstration program.
