210 ILCS 34/3-5 authorizes the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) Program, and provides state funding to providers operating the CCBHC model; who were funded through a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) CCBHC Expansion (CCBHC-E) Grant prior to July 1, 2021. The CCBHC model aims to ensure that all consumers who seek care have access to a common set of services. CMHCs or other behavioral health organizations must provide directly or through a Designated Collaborating Organization (DCO) the following nine types of services to qualify as a CCBHC: 1) *Crisis mental health services; 2) *Screening, assessment, and diagnosis; 3) *Outpatient mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment; 4) *Person-centered treatment planning; 5) primary care screening and monitoring of key health indicators; 6) targeted case management; 7) psychiatric rehabilitation; 8) peer support; and 9) intensive services for members of the armed forces and veterans. (Note: Services indicated with an * must be delivered directly by the CCBHC) Program History: The CCBHC Demonstration was established under the Federal Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014. The Demonstration required state Medicaid programs to reimburse CCBHCs through an enhanced prospective payment rate designed to cover the total cost of the full scope of CCBHC services. In 2015, Illinois was awarded a CCBHC planning grant, but ultimately did not participate in the CCBHC Demonstration. In 2018, Congress authorized the CCBHC Expansion (CCBHC-E) grant program administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The CCBHC-E grant program awards clinics two years of grant funding to provide CCBHC services. Clinics in demonstration states and those in non-demonstration states are eligible for CCBHC-E funding. CCBHC-E grantees must meet the same basic criteria as CCBHCs participating in the demonstration, but the grant does not alter Medicaid reimbursement or require that state agencies play a role in supporting implementation or oversight of the grants. CCBHC-E grantees must begin providing CCBHC services within four months of grant award. As of the FY21 there are a total of ten providers (site locations) in Illinois that are receiving funding through SAMHSA CCBHC-E Grants. The purpose of the CCBHC-E program is to increase access to and improve the quality of community mental and substance use disorder treatment services through the expansion of CCBHCs. CCBHCs provide person- and family- centered integrated services. The CCBHC Expansion grant program must provide access to services including 24/7 crisis intervention services for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) or substance use disorders (SUD), including opioid use disorders; children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED); and individuals with co-occurring mental and substance disorders (COD). The program will provide comprehensive 24/7 access to community-based mental and substance use disorder services; treatment of co-occurring disorders; and physical healthcare in one single location.

210 ILCS 34/3-5 defines an eligible provider as a Behavioral Health provider who has been funded by SAMHSA for the Implementation of the CCBHC model prior to July 1, 2021. Currently there are four providers that meet the statutory criteria of having been granted SAMHSA CCBHC-E grant prior to July 1, 2021 and their SAMHSA funding for the CCBHC model expire on April 30, 2022. The states intention for this NOFO is to provide temporary transitional funding that allow for existing eligible providers to sustain their CCBHC model of care while the state develops, seeks approval from CMS, and Implements the CCBHC model as a Medicaid reimbursable provider type under Illinois Medicaid Authority. All eligible CCBHCs shall: 1) Continue to meet the existing CCBHC certification requirements as agreed to under their SAMHSA CCBHC-E grant. 2) Maintain all agreements with Designated Collaborating Organizations (DCO) to ensure fidelity to CCBHC certification, if applicable. 3) Continue to provide all CCBHC services as required or agreed to in their SAMHSA CCBHC-E grant. 4) Continue to serve their identified regions, counties, or catchment areas as stated in their SAMHSA CCBHC-E grant. Collaboration with the state behavioral health authority and state Medicaid Office is expected. Grantee must use state funding in the same manner and purpose as under SAMHSA’s CCBHC-E Grant award, primarily to support direct services.
