All counties must complete a Medi-Cal Mobile Crisis Implementation Plan. The template for this required plan will be released soon. Counties will receive an email notification when the template is available.
Counties that currently meet the minimum program requirements outlined in the Attestation Letter may use the expedited implementation process. To do this, counties must:
-
Complete, sign, and submit the Attestation Letter to [email protected].
- Upon DHCS approval of the Attestation Letter, counties will be asked to submit an Implementation Plan within 30 days of approval.
Counties who do not plan to utilize the expedited implementation process will follow the standard implementation process and are encouraged to begin working on their Implementation Plan as soon as possible. Support for completing the plan can be requested through the M-TAC TA request form.
Regardless of which pathway a county chooses, they must submit a written Mobile Crisis Implementation Plan (described in section VIII(c)) of BHIN 23-025) to DHCS outlining its mobile crisis services policies and procedures and they must receive written approval by DHCS prior to delivering mobile crisis services for Medi-Cal reimbursement.
As stipulated in the BHIN, all Implementation Plans must be completed by October 31, 2023 for any behavioral health delivery system that is required to implement mobile crisis services by December 31, 2023, with the exception of the following counties, who must begin implementing by June 30, 2024: Alpine, Amador, Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn, Inyo, Mariposa, Modoc, Mono, Plumas, Sierra, and Trinity.
