OBHIS State Reporting Overview

Providers licensed by OhioMHAS to provide behavioral health services must report specific information on all clients treated for mental health or substance use disorders when services are funded in whole or in part by public sources, including Medicaid, ADAMH Boards, or OhioMHAS.

State-mandated reporting requirements are crucial for monitoring and improving treatment outcomes, but they can sometimes place a heavy administrative load on treatment providers, drawing attention away from direct patient care.
