Reinvesting in Our Community
What is Reinvestment?
Since 2010, we’ve reinvested over $1.4 million dollars in supportive treatment programs and services that benefit our community.
At the close of each fiscal year, Lycoming-Clinton Behavioral HealthChoices is allowed to retain Capitation revenues and investment income which was not expended during the contract year to reinvest in programs and services in each County. These funds, called Reinvestment funds, must be spent in accordance with an Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) approved reinvestment plan.
Reinvestment funds provide a unique opportunity for a financial incentive to reward sound financial management practices and allow the creative use of funds to fill identified gaps in the treatment system, to test new innovative treatment approaches, and to develop cost-effective alternatives to traditional services. Reinvestment funds are one mechanism used to achieve the Commonwealth’s expectation for continuous quality improvement of a comprehensive treatment system that supports recovery for persons with mental health, drug and/or alcohol treatment needs, and their families.
Reinvestment Committee
The Reinvestment Planning Committee includes and documents the involvement of members of Lycoming-Clinton HealthChoices who have received or are currently receiving services, families (including families of children and adolescents), persons in recovery, MH/ID and Single County Authorities (SCA), and as appropriate, County Commissioners and local legislators.
Stakeholders must be involved in all stages of the planning and decision making process. Information provided to stakeholders during the planning process includes:
Results of data analysis performed to document utilization trends, populations served, unmet needs, etc.
Results of Consumer and Family Satisfaction Surveys and Community Needs Assessments.
Research and outcome data regarding the potential treatments or services.
At numerous consumer, HealthChoices, and Community Care forums, stakeholders are also provided with regular updates and encouraged to submit input concerning reinvestment projects being considered.
