PROVIDING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
TO RESIDENTS IN NEED

Through a unique partnership between the city and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia has created a comprehensive Department of Behavioral Health and Mental Retardation Services, serving the city's 1.4 million residents. As a key component of this system, Philadelphia launched
its own managed care organization, Community Behavioral Health, to provide behavioral health coverage for persons on Medicaid. It has been in operation in Philadelphia since February, 1997.
