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 diagnosis and health insurance status.[1] CCBHCs are funded through Medicaid or SAMHSA grants.[1][2]
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.[1][3][4] Over 500 CCBHCs are operating across the US in every state except Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, and South Carolina.[2]
