We have contracted with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) - the Division for Behavioral Health, Bureau for Children’s Behavioral Health and the Division of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) to manage the state’s independent Comprehensive Assessment for Treatment (CAT) services program as part of the state’s implementation of the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) and the New Hampshire System of Care (SOC) for Children. The role of Maximus in this partnership is to determine the use of residential services for eligible children and youth by qualified clinicians and that established Medical Necessity will be applied through the use of a standard assessment tool, the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS), for all levels of residential services.
