Title of the Collection: Evaluation of the Certified Community
Behavioral Health Clinic Demonstration in Accordance with the
Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
Type of Collection: New.
OMB No.: 0990-XXXX.
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 evaluation of the
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration
program in accordance with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
Section 223 of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (Pub. L. 113-
93; PAMA) authorized the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic
(CCBHC) demonstration to allow states to test a different 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. The demonstration
was originally authorized for two years.
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 total annual burden hours estimated for this information
collection request are summarized in the table below.
