What is the Behavioral Health Service System?
On May 15, 2024, a new law (House File 2673) was signed. This law combines mental health and substance use services into one system, now called the Behavioral Health Service System. This new system starts on July 1, 2025, and will make it easier for mental health and substance use providers to help Iowans get the care they need, no matter where they go for help.
Back to topInformation for Providers
The Iowa PCA encourages providers and partners supporting behavioral health services in Iowa to complete a Provider Profile by May 16, 2025.
This Provider Profile will help the Iowa PCA build a provider network directory and ensure accurate information about providers interested in contracting to provide services to support the continuum in Iowa's Behavioral Health Service System, including Prevention, Early Intervention, Treatment, Recovery, and Crisis services.
This form can also be found under BH-ASO on www.iowapca.org and providers can also email bhasoproviderrelations@iowapca.org to communicate with the Iowa PCA.
