or a description of the client's participation and agreement in progress notes.
➢ Client signature on the plan will be used as the means by which the

certification of an individual's eligibility for Specialty Mental Health
Services (SMHS) under Medi-Cal.
b. ACCESS TO SPECIALTY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
i. In collaboration with the County, Contractor will work to ensure
that individuals to whom the Contractor provides SMHS meet
access criteria, as per Department of Health Care Services
(DHCS) guidance specified in BHIN 21-073. Specifically, the
Contractor will ensure that the clinical record for each individual

their age at the time of service provision as specified below.
ii. For enrolled individuals under 21 years of age, Contractor shall
provide all medically necessary SMHS required pursuant to
Section 1396d(r) of Title 42 of the United States Code. Covered
SMHS shall be provided to enrolled individuals who meet either of
the following criteria, (1) or (11) below. If an individual under age 21
meets the criteria as described in (1) below, the beneficiary meets
criteria to access SMHS; it is not necessary to establish that the
beneficiary also meets the criteria in (b) below.
1. The individual has a condition placing them at high risk for
a mental health disorder due to experience of trauma
evidenced by any of the following: scoring in the high-risk

covered SMHS for clients who meet both of the following criteria,
(a) and (b) below:
1. The individual has one or both of the following:

E-8
Revised Exhibit E
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved ICD
diagnosis code

Documentation in each individual's chart as a whole will
demonstrate medical necessity as defined below, based on the
client's age at the time of service provision.
ii. For individuals 21 years of age or older, a service is "medically
necessary" or a "medical necessity" when it is reasonable and
necessary to protect life, to prevent significant illness or significant
disability, or to alleviate severe pain as set forth in Welfare and

processes.
v. To facilitate care coordination, Contractor will request a HIPAA

E-9
Revised Exhibit E

established therapeutic relationships. Clinically appropriate and
covered SMHS can also be provided when the individual has a co-
occurring mental health condition and substance use disorder.
ii. Under this Agreement, Contractor will ensure that individual s
receive timely mental health services without delay. Services are
reimbursable to Contractor by County even when:

during the assessment or prior to determination of whether
SMHS access criteria are met, even if the assessment
ultimately indicates the individual does not meet criteria for
SMHS.

and NSMHS, Contractor holds responsibility for
documenting coordination of care and ensuring that
services are non-duplicative.
2. AUTHORIZATION AND DOCUMENTATION PROVISIONS
a. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION
i. Contractor will collaborate with County to complete authorization
requests in line with County and DHCS policy.

v. Contractor shall alert County when an expedited authorization
decision (no later than 72 hours) is necessary due to an
individual's specific needs and circumstances that could seriously
