Title of the Collection: Evaluation of the Extension of the
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Demonstration
Program.
Type of Collection: New.
OMB No.: 0990-NEW--Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning
and Evaluation.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for
new data collection activities to support its
[[Page 56076]]
evaluation of the extension of the Certified Community Behavioral
Health Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration program.
Section 223 of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (Pub. L. 113-
93; PAMA) authorized the CCBHC demonstration to allow states to test a
new strategy for delivering and reimbursing a comprehensive array of
services provided in community behavioral health clinics. The
demonstration aims to improve the availability, quality, and outcomes
of outpatient services provided in these clinics by establishing a
standard definition for CCBHCs and develops a new Medicaid prospective
payment system (PPS) in each state that accounts for the total cost of
providing nine types of services to all people who seek care. The PPS
in each state is designed to provide CCBHCs with the financial support
and stability necessary to deliver these required services. The
demonstration also aims to incentivize quality through quality bonus
payments to clinics and requires CCBHCs to report quality measures and
costs.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: PAMA mandates that HHS
submit reports to Congress about the Section 223 demonstration that
assess (1) access to community-based mental health services under
Medicaid in the area or areas of a state targeted by a demonstration
program as compared to other areas of the state, (2) the quality and
scope of services provided by certified community behavioral health
clinics as compared to community-based mental health services provided
in states not participating in a demonstration program and in areas of
a demonstration state that are not participating in the demonstration,
and (3) the impact of the demonstration on the federal and state costs
of a full range of mental health services (including inpatient,
emergency, and ambulatory services). The ability of ASPE to provide
this information to Congress requires a rigorously designed and
independent evaluation of the CCBHC demonstration. The information
collected under this submission will help ASPE address research
questions for the evaluation and inform required reports to Congress.
ASPE is requesting approval of this information collection for a three-
year period. Information will be collected from individuals (CCBHC
clients), businesses (CCBHC staff) and from state governments.
The total annual burden hours estimated for this information
collection request are summarized in the table below.
