The NC div of MH/DD/SA is requiring all Area programs to divest themselves of services. The Area programs are now Local Management Entities (LME) who will manage and monitor services. They will accept bids from the private sector for an entity to become the local Comprehensive Service Agency (CSA). The CSA will provide CSS services, including CBS services with 5 member teams supervised by a QMHP. They must serve all in the IPRS population. Non target IPRS populations will not be served. The CSA will also provide a comprehensive CES 24-7. There will be both UCR and non-UCR funding streams. IPRS eligibility will be determined by the individual's DSM-IV or ICD-9 diagnosis in combination with the current GAF score. COI's will no longer be required as the State is moving to the TOPPS system of outcome assessment. MR-CAPP clients will be served by a separate agency. Services for the SA population have yet to be determined.
