During this transition, we encourage providers to utilize their organization's internal behavioral health resources and referral pathways whenever available. We also recommend directing patients and families to contact their health insurance provider for assistance identifying in-network behavioral health services and supports. These resources can help ensure continued access to care and facilitate appropriate connections to community-based behavioral health services.
