The City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services’ Provider & Program Management unit, also referred to as the PPM unit, provides oversight for the operations, programmatic, and fiscal aspects of the behavioral health system through our network of providers. We work closely with our providers to ensure quality behavioral health services for the uninsured Philadelphians receiving behavioral health services.

The City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) maintains stringent oversight and monitoring functions to ensure that individuals receive quality services across the provider network. Oversight and monitoring efforts minimize fraud, waste, abuse, and risk; guide policy and practices; and elevate industry standards.

These functions include:

  • Fiscal Management
  • Program Analysts

 

Providers must meet the standards of excellence detailed in the Network Inclusion Criteria 3.0 in order to be recognized as part of the DBHIDS network, regardless of funding stream: Network Inclusion Criteria (NIC) 3.0

The Provider & Program Management (PPM), unit formerly the Operations-Fiscal (OPSFIS) unit, is responsible for the budgets, negotiations, and financial monitoring of contracted agencies providing behavioral health services.
