Policy Development:CalAIM Behavioral Health Payment Reform: Payment reform, which launched in July 2023, has been a top CBHDA strategic priority for the last several years, as CBHDA has worked with counties to implement this major shift in how county behavioral health pays for and codes services. Throughout implementation of payment reform, CBHDA has convened office hours and provided significant technical assistance to counties and nonprofit partners providers to monitor and understand the impacts of payment reform.

CBHDA also continued to engage with our legal counsel and the state in the negotiation of the states Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) process to shape policy guidance that is favorable to counties in the implementation of payment reform.Additional work under Payment Reform included:Rate Adequacy and AdjustmentsCPT Code TransitionPayment Reform Awareness and EducationBH-CONNECT RatesExpansion of…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $3.8M to $5.7M (+49%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
