Program Requirement Four (4): Scope of Services – Person-Centered and
Family-Centered Treatment Planning
A. The CCBHC directly, or through a DCO, provides person-centered and family-centered
treatment planning, including but not limited to, risk assessment and crisis planning
(CCBHCs may work collaboratively with DCOs to complete these activities). Person-
centered and family-centered treatment planning satisfies the requirements below and is
aligned with the requirements of the applicable section of the Affordable Care Act,
including person receiving services involvement and self-direction. Note: Refer to the
program requirement related to coordination of care and treatment planning.
B. The CCBHC develops an individualized treatment plan based on information obtained
through the comprehensive evaluation and the person receiving services’ goals and
preferences. The plan shall address the person’s prevention, medical, and behavioral health
needs. The plan shall be developed in collaboration with and be endorsed by the person
receiving services; their family (to the extent the person receiving services so wishes); and
family/caregivers of youth and children or legal guardians. Treatment plan development
shall be coordinated with staff or programs necessary to carry out the plan. The plan shall
support care in the least restrictive setting possible. Shared decision-making is the preferred
model for the establishment of treatment planning goals. All necessary releases of
information shall be obtained and included in the health record as a part of the development
of the initial treatment plan.
C. The CCBHC uses the initial evaluation, comprehensive evaluation, and ongoing screening
and assessment of the person receiving services to inform the treatment plan and services
provided.
D. Treatment planning includes needs, strengths, abilities, preferences, and goals, expressed
in a manner capturing the words or ideas of the person receiving services and, when
appropriate, those of the family/caregiver of the person receiving services.
E. The treatment plan is comprehensive, addressing all services required, including recovery
supports, with provision for monitoring of progress towards goals. The treatment plan is
built upon a shared decision-making approach.
F. Where appropriate, consultation is sought during treatment planning as needed (e.g., eating
disorders, traumatic brain injury, intellectual and developmental disabilities, interpersonal
violence and human trafficking).
G. The person’s health record documents any advance directives related to treatment and crisis
planning. If the person receiving services does not wish to share their preferences, that
decision is documented. Note: Refer to Program Requirement Three (3) requiring the
development of a crisis plan with each person receiving services.
