YOUR RIGHTS - CONTINUED

Confidentiality | Your Responsibilities  
 

  • You have the right to be given information about the different
    kinds of care and treatment that is paid for by
    CBH, and what options you have in getting services. You
    also have the right to ask for and receive the names,
    addresses, and telephone numbers of service providers
    near your home. You may do this by calling 1-888-545-
    2600,

  • You have the right to know which service providers can
    help people who do not speak English. If you are more
    comfortable speaking in a language other than English,
    Member Services will try to find a treatment program
    where your first language is spoken.

  • You have the right to go to any outpatient treatment program
    that is “in-network” with CBH (meaning that they
    have a contract with CBH), as long as the provider offers
    the kind of treatment that is right for you. If you would
    like help to know which providers CBH pays for, call 1-
    888-545-2600.

  • If you want to go to a treatment provider that is not in
    CBH’s provider network, CBH may be able to pay for
    you to go to that provider, on an “out-of-network” basis.
    You can find out if CBH will be able to pay for out-ofnetwork
    services by contacting Member Services at 1-
    888-545-2600, or by having that treatment provider call
    and ask for “Care Management”.

  • You have the right to go into “in-patient” programs to
    help you with mental health or drug problems, where
    you are in the program all day and also spend the night
    there as well. But all service decisions are based upon
    “medical necessity”, which means that a staff worker at
    a treatment provider must help to decide if this is what
    you really need. This means that before you would go
    into a program where you stay overnight, a doctor or
    another professional worker must meet and talk with you
    first, to help decide the best kind of treatment for you.

  • You have the right to be free from any form of seclusion
    or restraint as a means of forcing you to do something
    or in an attempt to get back at you. If you feel that this
    has been done to you, please contact Member Services
    at 1-888-545-2600 to report it.

  • You have the right to exercise all of the rights listed in
    this handbook, and CBH will not treat you differently or
    badly because you have exercised these rights.
