As part of the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Service Area Competition (SAC), the agency is reaching out to Health Center Program award recipients to review service area patient targets. This request may be confusing for some; the process simply helps HRSA confirm that the patient targets they have on record match those of each health center. This pre-SAC verification identifies inconsistencies that may affect grantee’s next SAC award. It is therefore important that health centers verify and update, if necessary, their patient targets numbers as soon as they can. The deadline to review targets is April 19.


Gary Bess Associates can help verify whether a health center’s patient targets match those recorded with HRSA. Should health centers identify an inconsistency, GBA is available to assist in guiding health centers to modify their patient projections with HRSA before the deadline. HRSA has stated that it may tie “future funding for a service area to that progress,” which suggests that making accurate reports is important for maximizing future funding.

"After we received our SAMHSA CCBHC PDI Grant, we engaged Gary Bess Associates as our Project Evaluator. They have been more than just a “Project Evaluator," they have worked with us on just about every aspect of the CCBHC project. They essentially handed us our Diversity Impact Statement when we started the CCBHC project. This was a tremendous help when we were overwhelmed with work and information during the initial months of the project. GBA has been able to help us with any questions concerning the CCBHC criteria and supported us through the evaluation and data planning process working with us on our sampling plan, the list of measures, and our internal data collection process and plan. ​We worked with GBA on our CCBHC Attestation and the supporting documentation. GBA provided us with a roadmap to develop our Attestation document and provided us with support, suggestions and help along the way. If you work with GBA, follow their roadmap and put the work in, you will be successful with your CCBHC. They are a pleasure to work with. GBA and their staff have been the best decision I’ve made through our entire CCBHC journey and my staff feel the same way!”
