Announcement regarding MBHP CBHI Authorization Procedure
For CBHI services, including Therapeutic Mentoring (TM), In-Home Behavioral Services, Family Support & Training (FS&T), and In-Home Therapy (IHT), authorization is obtained through MBHP's IVR system. To access the IVR system, please call (888) 899-6277 and follow the prompts. This is the easiest and quickest way to obtain authorization for these services. If the authorization request cannot be processed for any reason, providers will be directed to a voicemail box. All messages in the voicemail box are processed regularly and forwarded to an appropriate care manager who will assist providers in completing authorization requests.
