info About Community Intervention Services (CIS)

Community Intervention Services, Inc. (CIS) was a Massachusetts-based, private-equity-backed (H.I.G. Capital) network of mental health, substance-abuse, and developmental-disability services for children, adolescents, and families, formed around 2012 to acquire and operate facilities such as South Bay Mental Health Center and Futures Behavior Therapy Center (its ABA/autism services subsidiary). In January 2018 the Massachusetts Attorney General sued South Bay Mental Health Center and H.I.G. Capital directly, alleging fraudulent MassHealth billing for care delivered by unlicensed, unqualified, and unsupervised staff. That case resolved in October 2021 with a $25 million False Claims Act settlement (the largest healthcare-fraud settlement to date against a private equity firm). CIS filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2021; its subsidiaries were subsequently sold off (Futures Behavior Therapy Center now operates under Sevita/The Mentor Network, and three other CIS subsidiaries were acquired by Pathways, which later rebranded as Clarvida in 2024). The Community Intervention Services corporate entity no longer operates independently.
