BHH
Behavioral Health Home
The Behavioral Health Home (BHH) provides comprehensive care management and coordination services to Medicaid beneficiaries with a serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance. For enrolled beneficiaries, the BHH functions as the central point of contact for directing patient-centered care across the broader health care system. Beneficiaries work with an interdisciplinary team of providers to develop a person-centered health action plan to best manage their care. The model also elevates the role and importance of Peer Support Specialists and Community Health Workers to foster direct empathy and raise overall health and wellness. In doing so, this attends to a beneficiary’s complete health and social needs. Participation is voluntary and enrolled beneficiaries may opt-out at any time.
The following are federally mandated core services provided by the health home care team to enrolled beneficiaries:
- Comprehensive Care Management
- Care Coordination
- Health Promotion
- Comprehensive Transitional Care
- Individual and Family Support
- Referral to Community and Social Services
