MHOP Clinic Open Access Pilot Program

Access to timely behavioral health services is critical to providing quality services. Many mental health outpatient (MHOP) clinics struggle to achieve the HealthChoices access standard, so CBH has implemented an MHOP Clinic Open Access pilot program for its new and established members from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. We will then determine if this is an effective long-term intervention to improve MHOP access for our members.

CBH defines open access as a psychiatric evaluation, medication management for new or established members, or an initial appointment with a therapist. CBH recognizes that many MHOP clinics conduct an initial intake, but this intake is not a licensing requirement; therefore, an intake will not be included as a service toward open access hours.

All MHOP Open Access Provider Locations are listed below. You can also search for the closest one to you on our Provider Directory by:
