Exploring KanCare and Behavioral Health:
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics

Date: Tuesday, June 10

Time: 1-2:30 p.m. CDT

Location: Zoom virtual meeting

The second session in the series delves into the role of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) in the state’s Medicaid landscape. This installment explores Kansas’ designation as a CCBHC Demonstration State and how use of this model can enhance access to comprehensive, coordinated behavioral health care for Medicaid beneficiaries. By integrating mental health and substance use treatment with primary care and social services, these organizations aim to improve outcomes for individuals with complex needs. The series highlights CCBHCs’ impact on addressing service gaps, fostering innovation and advancing equitable, community-based care across Kansas.

A recap of the series launch held on Oct. 24 has been posted to the KHI website, which includes a recording of the event and additional resources.
