Comprehensive School and Community Treatment (CSCT)

Upcoming CSCT Update

TBD

 

OPI plans to go live with CSCT Access.gov on April 1. Below is the link to the recorded training for CSCT Access.gov. Required state share documents will no longer be emailed to the CSCT Districts, but accessed through the Access.Gov site. The site offers the option for payments online or through general mail.

Here is the link for the CSCT Access.Gov Training:

  • February 21, 2022, is the first payment to districts since the districts have been required to pay the state match for CMS match funding.
  • Districts are encouraged to get the revised MOU approved by their trustees in order, to get a 2/3 match for the mental health services the district is offering to some of their students through the CSCT program. Please see the resources that reference Medicaid below.

Administrative Rule & Other Resources

In the Fall of 2017, the Office of Public Instruction (OPI) contracted with Loveland Consulting to conduct an evaluation of current Comprehensive School and Community Treatment (CSCT) programs in Montana and develop recommendation and guidance to align CSCT programs with best and evidence-based practices.  This report titled Evaluating Comprehensive School and Community Treatment also provides recommendations for CSCT partners to operate effectively within the existing CSCT regulatory and billing framework.
