We are no longer offering Behavioral Health Ombuds
Behavioral Health Ombuds is now being offered by the Office of Behavioral Health Advocacy (OBHA). They will be able to assist with:
- Researching client rights relating to the client’s concern
- Filing a grievance with a provider or the Salish Behavioral Health Organization. If needed, we also follow through to be sure that the grievance is resolved and that you are kept informed of the process.
- Provide advocacy to help ensure that the client’s choices and rights are respected.
- Help appeal an adverse determination.
- When allowable, assist in preparing for a State of Washington Fair Hearing.
