This comes to us from OMH.
Please see the guidance letter on the Licensed Behavioral Health Practitioner (LBHP) benefit offered under NYS’s 1115 Waiver, as well as the guidance itself.
This benefit permits Medicaid Mainstream Managed Care Organizations (MMCOs) and Health and Recovery Plans (HARPs) to reimburse Clinic Treatment Programs licensed by the NYS Office of Mental Health for the provision of services at locations other than the clinic’s main site(s) or satellite locations.
This guidance will be discussed at upcoming Plan clinical leadership meetings and Regional Planning Consortiums.
Thank you.
