Abstract
Observing the need to strengthen and improve specialty behavioral health services and increase consumer choice and access to services while preserving the state's community mental health services programs, Michigan health officials have launched a new initiative for Medicaid beneficiaries. This effort involves the state's move to a competitive procurement process for its Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) contracts.
