community behavioral health centers (including substance use treatment

Psychiatric Drug Formulary in its entirety applies to all HHSC facilities
in all circumstances except when HHSC transfers an individual to a
general hospital to receive non-mental health acute care services.

for drafting contracts with their contractors that provide HHSC-funded
medications and medication-related services to ensure that contractors
comply with this subchapter.
