All of your mental health care must be approved by Southwest Behavioral Health Center before you or any family member can receive services to be paid by Medicaid. Services provided by other physicians or providers MUST be pre-authorized by Southwest Behavioral Health Center. Call one of the offices or (800) 574-6763 toll-free to request services.
