SHP has done an analysis of current network needs related to Behavioral Health and determined that our health plan is full and sufficient for Behavioral Health providers in all of our service locations for the following provider types and services listed below. Due to the network closure for these provider types and services, RFPs received from providers who are interested in joining our network will not be honored at this time. We will continue to monitor our network on an ongoing basis and provide an update should there be any changes in our network needs.
- Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)
- Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS)
- Mental Health Services (All)
Thank you again for your interest in joining the SHP provider network. Stay Well!
