This chapter establishes reimbursement rates for services provided by Department of Behavioral Health (DBH)-certified substance abuse providers in the District of Columbia. It clarifies that certification alone does not entitle a provider to reimbursement; eligibility is governed by a Human Care Agreement with the Department and is subject to available appropriated funds. Compliance staff should note that this chapter sets financial/reimbursement rules, not operational or licensing standards, for certified substance abuse treatment facilities and programs.
