# CCBHC EMR and PPS Billing Software > EMR for CCBHCs — all nine required services, PPS billing, quality-measure reporting, and care coordination on one record. Stay certified and get paid. Source: https://www.curertech.com/solutions/ccbhc Last updated: 2026-07-15 --- # 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.

The CCBHC model demands more than charting — it ties care, billing, and quality reporting together. CurerTech is built for that. **Scope** ### All nine required services Every required CCBHC service type — including case management and peer support — documented in one record. **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.

CurerTech does it on one record. **PPS billing** Built in — tied to qualifying encounters across PPS-1 to PPS-4 - General EMR + separate systems Disconnected templates and click fatigue **Quality measures** Calculated from the chart each cycle - General EMR + separate systems Rebuilt by hand or in a separate reporting tool **Cost-report data** Service and cost data pulled from the record - General EMR + separate systems Assembled across systems and spreadsheets **Nine required services** All nine in one record, including crisis and peer support - General EMR + separate systems Gaps where services live in different tools **Care coordination (DCOs)** Referrals and shared plans in the record - General EMR + separate systems Faxes, email, and a separate coordination app **Go-live** A typical 7–9 days, migration run by our team - General EMR + separate systems Commonly several months to a year | Legacy EMRs | | General EMR + separate systems | | --- | --- | --- | | PPS billing | Built in — tied to qualifying encounters across PPS-1 to PPS-4 | Disconnected templates and click fatigue | | Quality measures | Calculated from the chart each cycle | Rebuilt by hand or in a separate reporting tool | | Cost-report data | Service and cost data pulled from the record | Assembled across systems and spreadsheets | | Nine required services | All nine in one record, including crisis and peer support | Gaps where services live in different tools | | Care coordination (DCOs) | Referrals and shared plans in the record | Faxes, email, and a separate coordination app | | Go-live | A typical 7–9 days, migration run by our team | Commonly several months to a year | Go-live times vary by data volume and complexity; 7–9 days is typical for CurerTech migrations. [See switching & migration](https://www.curertech.com/switching-migration) The 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.

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.
