In September 2020, The Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) and the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) jointly published a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit information from consumer organizations, the provider community, health plans,  and others regarding the pathway to integrate behavioral services more fully into the benefits offered through the District’s Medicaid managed care program.

As discussed in the RFI and summary, the vision for this effort is to transform behavioral health care in the District to achieve a whole-person, population-based, integrated Medicaid behavioral health system that is comprehensive, coordinated, high quality, culturally competent, and equitable.
