Requires DHS to establish two-year Regional Community Behavioral Health Pilot Program.

S 333 establishes a two-year pilot program to improve coordination of behavioral health care for patients with severe behavioral health disorders in New Jersey. The program requires the Department of Human Services to contract with managed care organizations to identify eligible patients using Medicaid data and partner with community behavioral health providers in each region. Key provisions mandate participating providers to use "warm hand-offs," "rapid referrals," and "supportive contacts" to help patients navigate care transitions, access timely services, and connect with necessary mental health or substance use treatment. The pilot aims to create regional support systems with service navigation specialists, focusing on seamless care coordination for affected individuals.
