Health Plan to Disperse Funds Throughout Inland Empire
To increase behavioral health’s integration with traditional healthcare models, the state will award Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) with $32,376,142 in funding during the next two years. The health plan will then disperse these funds to local medical organizations throughout the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) to support programs that enhance behavioral health integration.
To receive funding from the health plan, eligible providers were invited to apply and submit project proposals that effectively responded to the state’s objective. Eligible providers included primary care, specialty care, perinatal care, hospitals and behavioral health providers.
The Department of Health Care Services approved 32 projects from 83 proposals after an extensive evaluation and selection process. These projects represent 20 different organizations with a goal of improving the existing system and supporting access to mental health treatment for Inland Empire residents.
