The State of Delaware is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to gather information from experienced and qualified providers interested in operating a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) within the targeted service areas. The CCBHC model was established by Congress under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) of 2014 to improve the behavioral health of citizens by providing comprehensive, coordinated, and integrated mental health and substance use disorder services. The model is designed to ensure access to high-quality, coordinated, comprehensive behavioral health services in a timely manner to individuals across the lifespan. Modeled after the Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) prospective payment system, CCBHC is also a way for states to explore new approaches to deliver and reimburse community behavioral health services.
