Behavioral Health

Every Student Deserves Access To Care

Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI)

The State of California is partnering with school districts and health plans to improve the behavioral health and well-being of children, youth, and families by investing in behavioral health promotion, prevention, and public awareness and by removing barriers to accessing these supports.

Under (CYBHI) fee schedule program, California’s health plans and insurers are now required to reimburse public schools for covered behavioral health services provided to students. This means more resources for Orange Unified School District students and families!

State law prohibits health plans and insurers from passing any of the cost of these services on to families. Health plans and insurers will pay for behavioral health services provided to your child in a school-linked setting, and there will be no out-of-pocket expenses (such as co-payments or deductibles) for you or your family.
