Superior HealthPlan has designated Arrow Child and Family Ministries, and two other Texas providers, as Mental Health Rehabilitation (MHR) and Targeted Case Management (TCM) Centers of Excellence.
“Arrow is proud to be named among the inaugural MHR/TCM Centers of Excellence,” said Scott Lundy, Chief Executive Officer of Arrow Child & Family Ministries. “This designation reflects our longstanding and strong partnership with Superior HealthPlan and strengthens our ability to serve children and families across Texas with greater coordination and efficiency. We are grateful for our partnership with Superior HealthPlan.”
The new program recognizes multi-specialty groups, also known as Non‑Local Mental Health Authority (Non‑LMHA) providers, that consistently meet elevated standards for clinical quality, compliance and coordinated care delivery. The designation allows Arrow and the other providers to offer more streamlined care for children and youth in Texas who have complex behavioral health needs and are covered by Medicaid.
Following an application process, Superior HealthPlan has chosen the following providers are the first to receive the designation:
“We’re proud to recognize these three providers as our first MHR/TCM Centers of Excellence because they all are committed to trauma‑informed service delivery and quality outcomes,” said Dr. Rutu Ezhuthachan, Chief Medical Officer for Superior HealthPlan. “The new initiative reflects Superior’s broader strategy to strengthen behavioral health networks, promote system integrity, and support sustainable access to high‑quality care for vulnerable populations.”
As part of the MHR/TCM Centers of Excellence application process, providers had to undergo a structured review process and maintain strong standing with Superior, reflecting sustained compliance with state requirements and health plan expectations. In all, there were 15 total applicants for the inaugural designation.
Arrow delivers MHR and TCM services for children impacted by trauma and their caregivers. Using evidence‑based, community‑centered approaches, Arrow provides skills training, crisis support, medication training and support, parenting and life skills education, and individualized therapeutic services to promote stability and healing. Arrow provides behavioral health services in and around Brownwood, San Antonio, Amarillo, Lubbock, Tyler, DFW, McAllen, Waco, Austin, Houston, and Beaumont, partnering closely with caregivers, child welfare stakeholders, and managed care organizations, including Superior HealthPlan, to deliver coordinated and medically necessary care.
