Helping CBOs with Medi-Cal Provider Certification
In the changing landscape of the Behavioral Health Services Act, Medi-Cal funding through county mental health partnerships can be a sustainable and viable resource for community-based organizations. To assist them in learning more about how to become Medi-Cal certified, CalMHSA — in collaboration with DHCS — has created a comprehensive, on-demand training.
Counties can share this training broadly within their networks of local community partners.
Free and self-paced, the course explains everything from the structure to the financing and administration of the Medi-Cal system. It also clarifies opportunities and challenges, providing the critical information CBOs need to determine whether participation is a strategic fit for them.
The training is ideal for leaders, decision-makers, and senior CBO staff who are:
- Exploring Medi-Cal as a potential revenue stream
- Seeking clarity before deciding to pursue county mental health plan contracts and Medi-Cal certification
- Wanting to understand how their existing services could fit within Medi-Cal’s requirements
