The bill provides a comparative analysis of the Community Behavioral Health Center (CBHC) rates as of December 2024, as mandated by Section 13D1/2 of Chapter 118E of the General Laws. It includes detailed tables that outline the rates for various CBHC services under MassHealth Fee for Service (FFS) and compares them to rates from all MassHealth Managed Care Entities (MCEs). The analysis highlights specific service codes and their corresponding minimum, maximum, average, and median rates, ensuring transparency in the reimbursement process for behavioral health services.

Notably, the bill introduces several new service codes and descriptions, such as the Adult and Youth Mobile Crisis Intervention services provided at different locations, as well as various recovery support services. These insertions aim to enhance the clarity and comprehensiveness of the billing structure for behavioral health services. Additionally, the bill specifies that most rates align with those set in MassHealth FFS, with exceptions noted for certain mobile crisis interventions.
