Ohio Behavioral Health Information System (OBHIS) Support

The Ohio Behavioral Health Information System (OBHIS) is the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services’ upgrade to the OHBH, a client-level episode of care information and outcomes reporting system that went live in October 2020. This data collection system is used to comply with the requirements of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) and Mental Health Block grants the state receives from SAMHSA.

OhioMHAS shared that 129 provider organizations have submitted data into OBHIS. As a reminder, providers certified or licensed by OhioMHAS to provide behavioral health services are required under ORC 5119.61 and OAC 5122-28-04 to report Information on:

all clients treated for a mental health or substance use disorder, when
services are covered in whole or part by public funding through:

Medicaid
ADAMH Board
OhioMHAS
