Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 247 introduces minor adjustments to clarify the role of the Bureau for Medical Services and its partnership with the Department of Health and Human Resources regarding certified community behavioral health clinics (CCBHCs). Importantly, it maintains that participation in the CCBHC program is voluntary and specifies how reimbursement rates for these clinics will be adjusted based on changes in service scope or through a tri-annual review. These changes could enhance the financial sustainability of CCBHCs, ensuring they can better meet community mental health needs.
