Scope
All nine required services
Every required CCBHC service type — including case management and peer support — documented in one record.
The EMR built for CCBHCs and PPS billing
CurerTech is an all-in-one EMR, RCM, and CRM platform built for CCBHCs — Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics. All nine required services, PPS (prospective payment system) billing, quality-measure reporting, and care coordination run on one record, so you get paid accurately and keep your certification.
Built for the model
What does a CCBHC need from its EMR?
The CCBHC model demands more than charting — it ties care, billing, and quality reporting together. CurerTech is built for that.
Billing
PPS billing
PPS (prospective payment system) billing tied to qualifying encounters, across PPS methodologies.
Reporting
Quality-measure reporting
CCBHC quality measures calculated from the chart, rather than rebuilt by hand each cycle.
Rate-setting
Cost-report support
The clinical and service data behind the annual cost report that sets next year's rate.
Coordination
Care coordination with DCOs
Referrals and shared care plans with DCO (designated collaborating organization) partners.
Crisis
24/7 crisis services
Crisis documentation and response-time tracking, distinguished where PPS requires it.
Why it matters
What's at stake for a CCBHC?
Document once, report everywhere: the same record gets you paid under PPS, keeps your certification, and covers every service — without a consultant or a nine-month build.
Revenue
Get paid under PPS
Billing tied to qualifying encounters and the cost report, so your rate reflects real costs.
Certification
Keep your certification
Quality measures drawn from the chart keep reporting accurate and audit-ready.
Completeness
Cover every service
Nine service types in one record, so nothing falls between separate systems.
More than 500 CCBHCs now serve an estimated 3 million people. The model is now a permanent Medicaid benefit (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024) and is still expanding — 10 more states joined the demonstration in 2026. As CCBHCs scale, the platform underneath them has to keep care, billing, and reporting in step. (National Council CCBHC Impact Report, 2024; SAMHSA, 2026.)
PPS billing
How does PPS billing work for a CCBHC?
CCBHCs aren't paid fee-for-service. Under the prospective payment system (PPS), Medicaid pays a set rate for each qualifying visit or month — a rate built from your own cost report. Accurate encounter data and quality reporting protect that rate.
Quality
PPS-1 through PPS-4
Daily and monthly rates, with quality bonus payments (QBPs) required under PPS-2 and PPS-4. CurerTech ties billing to qualifying encounters across methodologies.
The rate
Set by your cost report
Next year's rate reflects this year's costs and visits, so the service data behind the annual cost report comes straight from the record.
The bonus
Quality measures are revenue
Under PPS-2 and PPS-4, quality bonus payments hinge on measures drawn from the chart — miss the reporting, forfeit the revenue.

How CurerTech compares
CCBHC-ready, not retrofitted
Most clinics choose between a general behavioral health EMR that wasn't built for the CCBHC model and stitching billing, reporting, and coordination across separate systems. CurerTech does it on one record.

See switching & migrationThe whole decision
One platform, four decision-makers
A CCBHC EMR has to satisfy four people. CurerTech is built for all of them.
Executive director
Cost and risk
Total cost of ownership, implementation risk, and a vendor that will be here next year.
CFO / billing
Revenue accuracy
PPS billing, cost-report accuracy, and fewer denials slipping through the cracks.
Clinical director
Adoption
A record clinicians will actually use, that fits how the nine services are delivered.
Compliance officer
Audit-readiness
Quality-measure reporting and documentation that holds up to certification review.
One platform
Other programs you may run
Many CCBHCs also deliver medication-assisted treatment and general behavioral health. CurerTech serves those on the same platform.
CCBHC questions
CCBHC software, answered
What EMR do CCBHCs need?
A CCBHC needs an EMR that documents all nine required services, supports PPS (prospective payment system) billing, and calculates the quality measures certification requires. CurerTech handles these on one record shared with billing and patient engagement.
Does CurerTech handle PPS billing?
Yes. PPS billing is tied to qualifying encounters and supports the cost-report data that sets your clinic's annual rate.
Does it calculate CCBHC quality measures?
Yes. CCBHC quality measures are drawn from the clinical record, so reporting reflects the care delivered rather than being rebuilt by hand.
Does it support all nine required services?
Yes. All nine required CCBHC service types — including case management, peer support, and crisis services — are documented in one record.
Does it support care coordination with DCO partners?
Yes. Referrals and shared care plans with DCO (designated collaborating organization) partners are tracked in the record, so coordination doesn't live in a separate system.
