L.A. Care’s Behavioral Health Department introduced a new Behavioral Health Support Referral Form for Minors to streamline the referral process for members under 21 years of age. This form is designed to assist providers and primary care providers in referring minors to L.A. Care Health Plan for behavioral health services.
By gathering comprehensive information across various areas of need, the form ensures that members receive timely access to all necessary services.
The Behavioral Health Department will use the information collected to triage and route the referrals based on the member’s needs and lines of business (LOB):
- Behavioral Health Treatment (BHT)/ABA Services
- Mental Health Services
- Substance Use Services
- Speech, Occupational, Physical Therapy, etc.
L.A. Care providers can visit the Provider Page and view Forms and Manuals to obtain a printable Behavioral Health Support Referral Form for Minors.
