CBFS and DMH Case Management
  • Case management is a vital and highly valued part
    of the DMH community based mental health service
    system this service will continue to be provided
    by DMH case managers
  • No DMH case management duties will be transferred
    to CBFS providers

    current non-integrated Program Specific Treatment
    Plan (PSTP) that providers were required to
    complete prior to the implementation of CBFS

    its role in the public mental health system
