 HB17-1353 ACC Bill

 


 
CBHC talking points:  
 

We (I) along with the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council, support(s) HB17-1353.


 

We believe it is important to define the ACC in statute and to ensure that the General  Assembly has some oversight of the program.


 

We feel strongly about retaining language regarding capitated managed care payment models.


 

We are pleased that community mental health centers and managed care entities are specified in performance-based payment reporting in the bill.

 
 
Thank you!
