What This Funding Study Includes

Providers typically have needed to braid revenue sources (e.g., Medicaid, commercial insurance, grants, donations), and develop partnerships (e.g., cross-system, community entities) to provide programs for transitioning youth and their families.
This report describes how TIP Model programs have been sustained through:
  1. Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (pg. 6)
  2. Medicaid (pg. 8)
  3. Value-Based Care (pg. 10)
  4. Commercial/Private Insurance (pg. 11)
  5. County, State & Federal Grants (pg. 12)
  6. Community Partnerships (pg. 13)
The report concludes with Strategic Planning and Advocacy Suggestions for effectively sustaining and growing TIP Model programs, including contact information for nationally recognized experts in mental health program funding and operation, and resources for effective grant and contract proposals.
