A Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) is a type of health clinic in the United States that treats mental health and substance abuse disorders regardless of the patient's health insurance status and ability to pay for care. CCBHCs are funded through Medicaid or SAMHSA grants.
A private, for-profit clinic or organization cannot become a CCBHC, but can enter into a formal agreement with a CCBHC to become a “designated collaborating organization” (DCO).
CCBHCs began in 2017 in eight states in a demonstration program following the passage of the Excellence in Mental Health Care Act, which was part of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014. Over 500 CCBHCs are operating across the US in every state except Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, and South Carolina.
