Summary
Michigan is expanding Behavioral Health Home services to select counties effective October 1, 2020, providing comprehensive care management for Medicaid beneficiaries with specific serious mental illness diagnoses. This creates new billing opportunities for qualifying providers who contract with Lead Entities to deliver these coordinated care services.
Action Required
By October 1, 2020: Michigan providers in eligible counties must review the list of 37 qualifying counties and determine if they want to participate as Health Home Partners by contracting with Lead Entities. Review the nine qualifying ICD-10 diagnosis codes for patient eligibility. Access the Behavioral Health Home Handbook at www.michigan.gov/bhh for operational guidance. Note that implementation depends on CMS approval of the State Plan Amendment.
