PHILADELPHIA \u2013 The Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) today announced that it has launched a brand-new website exclusively devoted to providing content and information pertaining to Community Behavioral Health (CBH), a division of DBHIDS that manages, arranges and pays for behavioral health care for the city\u2019s vast population of Medicaid recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike physical health care, behavioral health care helps people recover from a mental health condition, an alcohol or drug addiction or a co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder. And unlike the larger DBHIDS website that focuses more broadly on Philadelphia\u2019s massive behavioral health system, the brand-new CBH-specific site focuses narrowly and appropriately on content pertinent to CBH members and the network of provider agencies serving them. Visitors can easily access both websites from either location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CBH is a managed care organization within DBHIDS overseeing a robust network of 175 service providers spread out at 700 sites and delivering treatment and related behavioral health services to CBH members \u2013 more than 118,000 of whom received services last year. CBH is the only behavioral health managed care organization for Philadelphia County. Seven hundred thousand Philadelphians are eligible to become members and access medically necessary behavioral health services covered by CBH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
