Work group discusses behavioral-health row and optional demographic fields
Summary
DFR will collect behavioral-health providers on a separate tab and carriers can report whether providers serve special populations (LEP, culturally diverse, complex needs, LGBTQIA+); there is no adequacy metric yet and the division hopes to get baseline data.
Spencer Peacock (CFR) described the behavioral-health tab: behavior-health providers will be listed separately with provider type, whether they accept new patients, whether they serve children/adults/both, and multiple self-report columns for serving people with limited English proficiency, illiteracy, diverse cultures, complex behavioral conditions, or diverse gender/sexual identities.
Kylie (Providence Health Plan) asked whether the division expects an adequacy metric for these fields; Brooke said there is no current adequacy measure and the division intends to collect baseline information for the first years of reporting.
