A new policy in California now requires all health plans and insurers to reimburse schools for the mental health services they offer! This is wonderful news for schools and families at a time when school funding faces uncertainties at the federal level.
Under the Children & Youth Behavioral Initiative (CYBHI), schools can be funded for mental health services at no cost whatsoever to families. Schools simply need to submit reimbursement requests to the public or private insurance organizations that provide coverage for our families.
We are asking our families to please considerfilling out this formto provide insurance information so that we can continue to fund mental health resources like our Mental Health Counselors and Wellness Centers.
