STD-related Reproductive Health, Prevention, Training, and Technical Assistance Centers (STDRHPTTACs)

Overview

CDC, in collaboration with the Office of Population Affairs of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), supports JSI Research & Training Institute to manage a national training and technical assistance center with the primary objective of providing billing and reimbursement training and technical assistance to state and local STD programs, public health laboratories, and to clinics providing publicly-funded STD services in the US and its territories.   Overall, these activities will support and strengthen the implementation of third-party billing and reimbursement systems and delivery of STD services.
