Behavioral Health Services Inc

Bhs became a fqhc (federally qualified health center) to bridge the gap between primary care, substance abuse and mental health. Bhs realized its clients and the community would be better served by integration of care through the provision of a primary care health clinic. The department of health and human services (hhs), health resources & services administration(hrsa) funding, through a new access point federal grant and was awarded in 2015, which resulted in the opening of bhs-family health center in april 2016. Bhs has since expanded to addtional health center sites which serve a growing number of clients from the recovering community, and plans are underway for further expansion of these services.

Bhs performs services under a contract that is administered by the los angeles county department of mental health ("dmh") involving local, state and federal government funds. Contract service payments are generally provided monthly, but are subject to approval by the various funding agencies. Final settlements with the various funding agencies are taking from one to seven years, with initial findings in many cases not available for three or four years after funding. As a result, the organization establishes reserves for claims made, disputed claims, and unexamined years. At june 30, 2023, management did not estimate any reserves for such amounts as all subsequent activity related to uncollectible receivables have been accounted for as reductions in receivables and revenue.
