Provider Resources
CBH contracts with nearly 200 Medicaid-enrolled and licensed service providers to deliver effective and medically necessary behavioral health services to our members in a culturally competent manner.
CBH authorizes payment for a vast continuum of behavioral health services, including outpatient mental health, substance use disorder (SUD), inpatient psychiatric hospital, residential, and telehealth treatments. These services are conducted in locations that members can easily access, such as the home, school, or other community settings. CBH works diligently with community partners and providers to maximize access to services while adhering to the Commonwealth’s Behavioral HealthChoices Program Standards and Requirements (PSR).

Providers should utilize CBH language assistance resources when no other services are available. Learn more about CBH language assistance resources.
