24 Miss. Code. R. 2-54.16 - Program Requirement Four (4): Scope of Services - General Service Provisions

A. Whether delivered directly or through a DCO agreement, the CCBHC is responsible for ensuring access to all care specified in PAMA. This includes, as more explicitly provided and more clearly defined below in the following required services: crisis services; screening, assessment and diagnosis; person-centered and family-centered treatment planning; outpatient behavioral health services; outpatient primary care screening and monitoring; targeted case management; psychiatric rehabilitation; peer and family supports; and intensive community-based outpatient behavioral health care for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and veterans. The CCBHC organization will directly deliver the majority (51% or more) of encounters across the required services (excluding Crisis Services) rather than through DCOs.

B. The CCBHC ensures all CCBHC services, if not available directly through the CCBHC, are provided through a DCO, consistent with the freedom of the person receiving services to choose providers within the CCBHC and its DCOs. This requirement does not preclude the use of referrals outside the CCBHC or DCO if a needed specialty service is unavailable through the CCBHC or DCO entities.

C. Regarding either CCBHC or DCO services, people receiving services will be informed of and have access to the CCBHC's existing grievance procedures, which must satisfy the minimum requirements of Medicaid and other grievance requirements such as those that may be mandated by relevant accrediting entities or state authorities.

D. DCO-provided services for people receiving CCBHC services must meet the same quality standards as those provided by the CCBHC. The entities with which the CCBHC coordinates care and all DCOs, taken in conjunction with the CCBHC itself, satisfy the mandatory aspects of these criteria.
