Summary
BCBSRI published awareness information about March being Self-Injury Awareness Month, providing educational content about non-suicidal self-injury behaviors and resources for supporting patients who engage in self-harm. This is educational guidance rather than a billing policy change.
Action Required
No billing changes required. Clinical staff should review the educational materials and patient support guidelines for treating individuals with non-suicidal self-injury behaviors. Consider sharing the provided crisis resources (BH Link, Kids' Link RI, CFIT program) with relevant patients.
