Federally Qualified Behavioral Health Centers (FQBHCs) create national standards for<br />
community-based mental health and substance use treatment organizations, giving federal<br />
status to providers that volunteer to meet FQBHC standards and clearly defining<br />
treatment objectives and core service requirements. The Excellence in Mental Health<br />
Act (S. 264) would create FQBHCs, initiating minimum service reimbursement based on<br />
actual delivery cost, reimbursement that supports recruitment and retention of skilled<br />
staff and additional treatment capacity to address Medicaid and private insurance expansions. These protections are<br />
critical as states increasingly use Medicaid managed care for people with mental illnesses and those dually eligible for<br />
Medicare and Medicaid. Join an lively discussion ― and find out how you can help.<br />
