The established certification standards, criteria, and application evaluation process reflected the State’s mission and priority to ensure access to high quality services to all Rhode Islanders. Here are the main components of the Rhode Island CCBHC certification process: All State Fiscal Year 24 (SFY24) CCBHC applicants have been evaluated based on their demonstrated ability to meet the established certification requirements. This determination has been informed by both the contents of each provider’s written application for certification and an onsite assessment by the CCBHC Certification Team. SFY24 CCBHC applicants have received one of four designations based on their demonstrated level of readiness to meet all core and minimum CCBHC certification: 1a) Not Certified – Application Closed; 1b) Not Certified – Application Remains Open; 2) Contingently Certified; OR 3) Fully Certified. Applicants who are designated ‘contingently certified’ or ‘fully certified’ are eligible to execute an MCO contract and to receive the CCBHC PPS rate for as long as they maintain either of these statuses. More information about the certification process can be found here, in an August 21, 2023 memo to CCBHC Applicants from EOHHS Secretary Richard Charest. And you may also find answers to frequently asked questions about the CCBHC certification process here.
