Michigan wants to change the system of care for Medicaid/Medicare eligible persons ("Dual Eligibles") so that services work together better and costs are reduced. The plan could change who coordinates care for dual eligible persons currently served by Community Mental Health.
The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) accepted public comment on the proposed plan for integration of care until on April 4, 2012. The comments received are expected to be incorporated into a final proposal which will be submitted to CMS. It is expected that CMS will respond by late June.
