- BHA/HCPF Essential Safety Net Providers
(May 2024) The state's Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) and Dept of Health Care Policy and Finance (HCPF) both have roles to play in supporting the "safety net providers" programs, of which there are two: Essential Safety Net Provider (ESP), and Comprehensive Safety Net Provider (CSP).
CSPs are essentially the large "Centers" (usually designated as Community Mental Health Centers) and they are responsible for a range of services. ESPs are responsible for one or more services, and COMBINE clinics are likely to meet the threshold for designation as ESPs.
