The Ohio Children’s Alliance, serving as a subgrantee to Case Western Reserve University, administers a Financial Services Program to reimburse participating Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) and Functional Family Therapy (FFT) providers.

​

Providers may utilize FSP funding if youth meet the following criteria:

1. Are referred to the provider by a Title IV-E Agency​

2. Are determined by the Title IV-E Agency as a candidate for Family First Prevention Services,
   AND

3. Lack Medicaid coverage​.

​

In order for the youth to be eligible, the Title IV-E Agency must:

1. Have the case open as a prevention services case in SACWIS.

2. Complete the case service for evidence-based practice MST/FFT and link it to the case plan with the status set to provided.

3. Email a copy of the SACWIS prevention services referral form to the COE.

4. Keep the case open until MST/FFT services are complete.

​

The Financial Services Program reimbursement rate for Multi-Systemic Therapy and Functional Family Therapy will mirror the prevailing Ohio Medicaid reimbursement rate for those services. See Reimbursement Rates >

​

If you are a certified MST or FFT Provider and wish to access this funding you must complete two simple onboarding steps:

1. Attend a meeting with our Program Coordinator to complete the overview session of the program. You can request the meeting by emailing coe@ohiochildrensalliance.org

2. Sign a Provider Agreement outlining all details of the program.
