IBHS FAQ

OMHSAS hosted a statewide Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) webinar on May 11, from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. The webinar included helpful tips and reminders regarding fee for service prior authorization instructions, licensing and regulatory requirements, and department approved IBHS training.

OMHSAS also reposted the IBHS FAQ back on the website. As you review the documents, please contact RCPA Children’s Director Jim Sharp with any thoughts, questions, or feedback.

Tablet on a desk - Questions and Answers

The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) has released an updated version of the Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) FAQ. Additionally, there will be another FAQ update in early January. Please review the new version as the inquiries include OMHSAS responses on staff training / qualifications, licensing parameters, service delivery, and other key feedback brought forth by stakeholders. The new IBHS FAQ can be found here.

We have been informed that there will be new OMHSAS IBHS bulletins released in December, regarding the prior authorized services in the fee-for-service delivery system and the medical necessity guidelines. All new IBHS information provided will also be reviewed by the RCPA IBHS Work Group.

As the IBHS implementation moves forward, we ask that RCPA Children’s Division Director Jim Sharp be included on questions sent to the IBHS RA account or directly to OMHSAS regional offices. We will continue to maintain our own member inquiry repository. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Jim Sharp.
