Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic
A Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) is a type of health clinic in the United States that treats mental health and substance abuse disorders regardless of the patient's health insurance status and ability to pay for care.[1][2][3] CCBHCs are funded through Medicaid or SAMHSA grants.[2][4]
A private, for-profit clinic or organization cannot become a CCBHC, but can enter into a formal agreement with a CCBHC to become a “designated collaborating organization” (DCO).
CCBHCs began in 2017 in eight states in a demonstration program following the passage of the Excellence in Mental Health Care Act, which was part of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014.[2][5][6] Over 500 CCBHCs are operating across the US in every state except Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, and South Carolina.[4]
