About this opportunity

This notice solicits applications for the American Rescue Plan Act - Pediatric Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) – New Area Expansion. The purpose of this program is to promote behavioral health integration into pediatric primary care by supporting pediatric mental health care telehealth access programs. State or regional networks of pediatric mental health care teams will provide assistance, and care coordination for pediatric primary care providers to refer children with behavioral health conditions. Successful recipients will focus on achieving health equity related to geographic disparities in access to care, especially in rural (including frontier and hard- to-reach) and other underserved areas. PMHCA advances HRSA strategic plan goals to improve access to quality health services, foster a health care workforce able to address current and emerging needs, achieve health equity, and enhance population health. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, telehealth is defined as the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical consultation, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration. Permitted telehealth modalities between providers include (but are not limited to): real-time video, telephonic communications, store-and-forward imaging, and mobile health (mHealth) applications. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, a pediatric mental health care telehealth access program for which funding may be used, shall— A. be a statewide or regional network of pediatric mental health care teams that provide support to pediatric primary care sites as an integrated team; B. support and further develop organized state or regional networks of pediatric mental health care teams to provide consultative support to pediatric primary care sites; C. conduct an assessment of critical behavioral consultation needs among pediatric providers and such providers’ preferred mechanisms for receiving technical assistance; D. develop an online database and communication mechanism, including telehealth, to facilitate consultation support to pediatric primary care practices; E. provide rapid statewide or regional clinical telephone or telehealth consultations when requested between the pediatric mental health care teams and pediatric primary care providers; F. conduct training and provide technical assistance to pediatric primary care providers to support the early referral of children with behavioral health conditions; G. provide information to pediatric providers and assist pediatric providers in accessing pediatric mental health care providers, including child and adolescent psychiatrists, developmental behavioral pediatricians, and licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists, social workers, or mental health counselors and in scheduling and conducting technical assistance; H. assist with referrals to specialty care and community or behavioral health resources; and I. establish mechanisms for measuring and monitoring increased access to pediatric mental health care services by pediatric primary care providers and expanded capacity of pediatric primary care providers to refer children with mental health conditions. This program will serve as a resource for pediatric primary care providers serving children and not limited physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and care coordinators. The programs are encouraged to broaden the reach to additional providers such as physician specialists ( developmental-behavioral pediatricians, obstetrician-gynecologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists), behavioral health clinicians, and social workers.
