The Indiana Behavioral Health Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for the delivery, regulation, and oversight of behavioral health services for individuals across the State of Indiana. This manual aligns with the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC), the policies of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA), and applicable federal regulations, including those under 42 CFR Part 440 and 441, as well as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) guidelines.
This manual outlines policies and procedures regarding provider licensing and credentialing, participant eligibility and access, service authorization and delivery standards, clinical assessment and treatment planning, evidence-based therapeutic interventions, crisis intervention and stabilization services, documentation and billing protocols, confidentiality and participant rights, and quality assurance and compliance monitoring. Covered behavioral health services include mental health counseling, psychiatric care, substance use disorder treatment, case management, peer support, and psychosocial rehabilitation.
The manual serves as an essential resource for behavioral health providers, clinicians, case managers, and program administrators, ensuring consistent, high-quality, and person-centered delivery of mental health and addiction services. It supports regulatory compliance, clinical best practices, and improved health, safety, and recovery outcomes for individuals receiving behavioral health services throughout Indiana’s community-based and institutional care systems.
