Rapid Response Meetings:

HCA and managed care organizations (MCO) are hosting weekly rapid response calls for providers who have questions about the transition from Behavioral Health Personal Care (BHPC) to CBHS.

These calls are not intended for discussing detailed individual client information. If you have questions about authorization, payment, or contracting, join the calls to receive support and schedule follow-up assistance.
