 Arkansas DBHS Rehabilitation Services for Persons
With Mental Illness:
Provider Certification Rules
The Arkansas Division of Behavioral Health Services (DBHS) instituted a
rule that mental heath rehabilitation service providers must ensure
family involvement and cultural competency to gain DBHS certification. DBHS
certification is required before the Arkansas Division of Medical Services (DMS) will
establish a Medicaid provider number. The rule applies to sites where
Rehabilitative Services for Persons with Mental Illness (RSPMI) are
provided. All RSPMI agencies must have DBHS certification for each RSPMI
site before providing RSPMI services at that site. Off-site service
locations such as a school, day care facility, or long-term care
facility, where RSPMI services may be delivered are not required to hold
DBHS certification. RSPMI service providers must be in compliance by July
15, 2008.
