Mental Health Rehabilitation (MHR) Presentations
Mental Health Rehabilitation, or MHR, is one behavioral health provider type within the Medicaid system. Two of the services of focus include Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment (CPST) and Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) which are home and community based services. In 2019 and 2020 for approximately 18 months, the Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) collaborated with MHR providers and the five Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to develop and implement reforms to the MHR program. To facilitate conversations around these changes, the Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) hosted monthly MHR Stakeholder Group meetings, including breakout sessions for focused discussions. One of the recommendations that came from the workgroup was a complete overhaul of the CPST and PSR services definitions.
