Welcome to the North Texas Behavorial Health Authority

The North Texas Behavioral Health Authority (NTBHA) is the Local Behavioral Health Authority for Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, Navarro and Rockwall Counties. NTBHA was created by the Commissioners Courts of each of the seven counties to oversee the managed behavioral (mental health and chemical dependency) healthcare service delivery system which serves persons eligible for Medicaid and/or public behavioral health funds in the NorthSTAR Region.


NTBHA TRANSITION

The North Texas Behavioral Health Authority (NTBHA) is beginning the transition of authority from the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) in Austin to the NTBHA Board of Directors in Richardson. The draft of the Work Plan and Timeline may be viewed here.


Self Directed Care

Self Directed Care (SDC) is a new way of providing mental health services in which adults with serious mental illnesses directly control the funds spent on their recovery. TX SDC participants create a person-centered recovery plan and a budget for the purchase of goods and services to achieve their life goals. Staff called SDC Advisors help hire providers and make purchases that lead to wellness. The program is operated by NTBHA within the seven counties. The managed care company, ValueOptions, acts as the program's fiscal manager paying service providers and processing budgets. The program is operated by the Texas Department of State Health Services as part of its federal transformation initiative. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago act as the program evaluators. The SDC link is here.
