The Florida Association of Managing Entities (FAME) is consists of the seven Managing Entities around the state and the FAME Chief Executive Officer. FAME’s mission is to educate, promote, facilitate, collaborate, and advance the behavioral health recovery of individuals and their families in Florida.
Managing Entities are local, not-for-profit organizations with community boards that oversee the state and federal substance abuse and mental health (SAMH) system of care across Florida. The Florida Department of Children and Families contracts with the seven Managing Entities to ensure accountability of state and federal funds dedicated for substance abuse and mental health services.
Managing Entities bring together community stakeholders and providers to assess, plan, allocate, and monitor the care system for Florida’s most vulnerable population. This is Florida’s behavioral health safety net system. The Managing Entities leverage local resources and bring additional support to the system in order to effectively meet the unique and specific behavioral health needs of Florida’s 67 counties.
Managing Entities create stability amid ever-changing state government leadership, acting as brokers between the state and private or not-for-profit behavioral health provider organizations. As an integrated member of the community, each Managing Entity ensures that the system of care is available and accessible when needed, holds service providers accountable for quality service delivery, and manages funding to the highest degree of fidelity. Managing Entities fund various treatment levels, including prevention, intervention, crisis support, opioid, medication-assisted treatment, residential treatment, and outpatient services for adults, children, and families.
Managing Entities work across systems of care including child welfare, local governments, law enforcement, private care, state hospitals, courts, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile Justice, and school districts.
Insert graphic based on quote from DCF Sec. Chad Poppell:
“One of the things we are really proud of at the agency is, through the entirety of COVID, our networks have not lost the ability to provide services in any part of the state. We’ve had facilities and different things have a COVID-positive issue but we have been able to resource and we’ve been very nimble on the ground. That’s a big testament to the leadership of our managing entities.” DCF Sec. Chad Poppell at Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Mental Health Roundtable, 8/19/20

WHAT WE DO
The goals of FAME and the Managing Entities are to:
Increase access to high-quality care
Provide effective and efficient service delivery
Support the behavioral health workforce
Promote evidence-based programs and outcomes
Managing Entities tailor all funding to fit the needs of each specific community they serve. This model is an excellent value to the state, to provider organizations, to communities, and most importantly, to individuals and families who receive publicly funded substance abuse and/or mental health services.
Our responsibilities Include…
Responsibilities to the State:
- Streamline access to care by rapidly responding to community trends shifting funding, and amending contracts so that services are delivered effectively and efficiently.
- Conduct Quality Assurance Reviews, bringing a new level of accountability to ensure that individuals and families receive quality care at the most cost-effective rate.
- Identify other funding streams, such as grants and additional funds, to supplement state resources, making sure to “braid and blend” funding to maximize benefits.
- Operate at an administrative rate of less than 5% and leverage community resources to function cost-effectively.
Responsibilities to the Providers:
- Ensure rapid payments to substance abuse and mental health service providers, subject to the state’s availability of funds.
- Focus on the quality of care by providing technical assistance and evidence-based practice training to provider staff.
- Provide access to data through systems that utilize real-time information.
- Operate transparently through community board memberships and regular community meetings, gaining valuable feedback to enrich decision-making and planning.
- Advocate for services to increase behavioral health services through partnerships and community engagement.
