The Local Provider Network Development Plan – Fiscal Year 2025

Collin County Mental Health Mental Retardation dba LifePath Systems is required by rules passed by the 80th Texas legislative session to develop a two-year local plan for the development of an external provider network for mental health services. This plan will provide a standardized, transparent process for planning and developing a network of mental health service providers, emphasize a choice of providers, and allow for local control through stakeholder input while requiring the network to be managed by LifePath Systems.

In accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code, §533.0352 each LMHA and LIDDA shall develop a local service area plan to maximize the authority’s services by using the best and most cost-effective means of using federal, state, and local resources to meet the needs of the local community according to the relative priority of those needs by incorporating strategies to ensure continuous consumer access to services while increasingly expanding the network of providers as we maintain a steadily decreasing share of local services.

The Local Provider Network Development Plan must reflect both stakeholder and public needs and priorities and maximize consumer choice and access to qualified service providers.
