CYBHI is reshaping how school-based mental health services are delivered and funded. For many districts, frontline providers will be billing for every interaction with students, potentially for the first time. Without strong training and communication, this new process can lead to confusion and hesitation, stalling implementation and causing missed reimbursement opportunities.

A key step in CYBHI implementation is communicating with parents and updating your Student Information System (SIS). Given that CYBHI involves student health data, proactive and transparent communication with parents is essential. Additionally, ensuring your SIS is up-to-date with accurate student information, including insurance details, is crucial for smooth implementation and reimbursement.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 24, 2025 — TadHealth, a leading provider of mental health technology solutions for schools, today announced the successful completion of its $5.5 Million dollar Series A funding round, led by seasoned healthcare executives.

The Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) is built on the idea that schools are key to delivering equitable mental health care. For services to be reimbursed, every provider involved in student mental health services must be registered in the CYBHI system.

When it comes to CYBHI implementation, your board of education plays a vital role. They are not only key decision-makers but also influential stakeholders who can either accelerate or delay the pace of progress. That’s why it’s essential to keep them in the loop from the very beginning.

Let's face it: every funding initiative comes with its share of paperwork, and CYBHI is no exception. But don't worry, it doesn't have to be overwhelming! The key is to get organized early and understand the requirements.

Let’s assume you attended the office hours, evaluated your internal systems, and perhaps met with a few vendors. Now what? One of the most important early steps is connecting with your amazing staff, especially your dedicated mental health professionals and school site teams. They'll naturally have questions, and how we address them together sets the stage for a successful implementation.

As school districts across California navigate the new opportunities provided by the California Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), one thing is clear: choosing the right partner to support your district’s reimbursement process is critical.

The Children & Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) is a historic opportunity for California school districts to secure funding for student mental health services, but navigating the process is not simple. To support districts through the complexities of CYBHI reimbursements, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Carelon have created CYBHI Office Hours, a crucial resource designed to walk districts through the many steps of participation.
