CCBHC model continues to expand, but faces some funding constraints
Despite the growing number of people served by certified community behavioral health clinics (CCBHCs), the clinics face possible financial strain amid policy headwinds. | More uninsured people due to OBBBA Medicaid cuts, predicted to lead to millions losing Medicaid coverage, could increase uncompensated care costs and strain CCBHCs.
TL;DRAI
CCBHCs served 3.4M people in 2025 (+13% YoY) across 539 U.S. clinics, expanding to 10 new states via federal Medicaid demonstration programs. Rising uninsured rates from Medicaid cuts risk straining operations through uncompensated care, requiring supplemental funding strategies to sustain access.
