Provider Information
AMHH services may be delivered only by providers meeting specific state-defined criteria. DMHA certifies agencies to provide AMHH services. DMHA-certified community mental health centers are eligible to be approved AMHH service provider agencies.
DMHA-approved providers must also be enrolled with Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) as a mental health care provider with the AMHH specialty. Refer to the Become a Provider webpage for more information.
