Who are we?
The QA Office of Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services (ACBHCS) oversees the quality of services delivered to beneficiaries of the Mental Health Plan. The primary responsibility of the QA Office is to ensure that state or federal laws and regulations, and BHCS policies are met by all ACBHCS network providers of behavioral health care services. Examples of this Office’s responsibilities relating to delivery of services are to establish and monitor standards of: Clinical record documentation, notification to beneficiaries of their rights, final credentialing of MHP Network Providers, etc.
Although the QA Office implements the Department’s auditing and investigation functions, the ultimate authority for all final decisions is held by Executive Administration.
