Bill > HB5371

This bill amends the Social Welfare Act to add Section 109w, which requires the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to develop a prospective payment system for funding certified community behavioral health clinics under the state's Medicaid program. The payment system must comply with federal requirements, and DHHS must seek necessary waivers and approvals from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The bill sets a target implementation date of October 1, 2027, and authorizes DHHS to promulgate policies to ensure compliance with licensing and certification requirements, mitigate conflicts of interest, define and enforce penalties for violations, and establish a dispute resolution process. The bill's provisions are contingent on the legislature appropriating sufficient funds for their administration.
