On June 16, 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule that would establish conditions of Medicare participation for
Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs). The proposed rule includes health and safety standards,

centered, outcome-oriented approach. CMS will accept public comments on the proposed rule until August 16, 2011.
