If you are a provider of Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI) services, we would like to remind you that effective Sept. 15, 2024, MassHealth and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) have implemented revised performance specifications for certain CBHI services.
In accordance with these revisions, Point32Health has developed the following performance specifications to reflect the state’s guidance and requirements for these services.
- Family Support and Training (FS&T)
- In-Home Behavioral Service (IHBS)
- In-Home Therapy (IHT)
- Intensive Care Coordination (ICC)
- Therapeutic Mentoring (TM)
The Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative ensures access to treatment for Medicaid-insured children, youth, and adolescents under age 21 who have serious emotional, behavioral, and mental health care needs. Structured to provide services at home, in school, or within the community, CBHI programming is developed around the strengths and driven by the needs of each family and child. You can learn more about the CBHI on the mass.gov website.
