CYBHI Monthly Public Webinars
DHCS is hosting a series of monthly public webinars to keep stakeholders apprised of DHCS’ progress in implementing various CYBHI work streams. DHCS specifically encourages attendance from the following groups (although all stakeholders in this area are welcome): youth, parents/caregivers, family members, behavioral health providers, Medi-Cal managed care plans, county behavioral health departments, commercial health plans, education partners (e.g., local education agencies, associations, teachers), and other cross-sector partners.

The next webinar is scheduled for March 29, 2023 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Fee Schedule Workgroup
DHCS, in collaboration with the Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC), is establishing a workgroup to inform the development of the statewide all-payer fee schedule for school-based behavioral health services under the CYBHI.
Through this workgroup, DHCS and DMHC are seeking to engage partners representing K-12 education, institutions of higher education, Medi-Cal managed care plans, commercial health plans, county behavioral health departments, behavioral health providers, associations, advocates, youth and parents/caregivers. DHCS and DMHC will engage workgroup members on a variety of policy and operational topics to inform the development and refinement of the program design.
This workgroup aims to meet virtually on a monthly basis (for approximately 4-5 sessions). Each session will be 2-3 hours in duration. Meetings will be open to members of the public.
DHCS will post information about this workgroup, including meeting dates, registration links, meeting summaries, and membership rosters on this CYBHI webpage.
