Anaheim ESD – Unlocking $1M in CYBHI Funding

PROBLEM: A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, BUT A VENDOR THAT COULDN’T DELIVER

Anaheim Elementary School District was eager to begin participating in California’s Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI). The district initially partnered with an LEA BOP vendor who assured them they could support CYBHI billing.

‍

But from July through December, progress came to a halt. Anaheim was ready to bill, but their initial vendor lacked a CYBHI-ready platform. Each month brought new delays and no clear path forward, leaving the district stuck despite its readiness to move.

‍

As Shirley Diaz, Director of Special Services at Anaheim ESD, explains:

“The TadHealth platform has proven to be intuitive and user-friendly, enabling our team to navigate the billing process confidently and efficiently. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and collaborative spirit played a vital role in helping us advance implementation of CYBHI.”

SOLUTION: ANAHEIM ESD CHOSE TADHEALTH BASED ON PROVEN RESULTS

Momentum shifted when Carelon and the state announced that Nevada Joint UHSD had successfully processed the first CYBHI payment using TadHealth.

‍

Anaheim connected with Nevada’s team, learned about TadHealth’s role, and reached out in January. By the end of that month, Anaheim had signed with TadHealth - choosing a partner that could deliver what their previous vendor couldn’t.

‍

With TadHealth, Anaheim received:

• A platform ready on day one to submit CYBHI claims
• Step-by-step expert support guiding integrations, PAVE registration, and compliance
• A clear path to success with workflows designed for district staff

‍

THE RESULT: OVER $1 MILLION IN CLAIMS SUBMITTED

Since partnering with TadHealth, Anaheim has turned frustration into measurable success:

• Submitted over $1 million in CYBHI claims
• Gained confidence that every claim meets compliance requirements
• Freed staff to focus on serving students instead of chasing down billing problems

ANAHEIM’S TAKEAWAY

With TadHealth, Anaheim Elementary School District moved from stalled progress to measurable success. CYBHI funding is now flowing, ensuring the district can sustain and expand student mental health services.
