Michigan DHHS Expands Medicaid Opioid Health Home Services To Three More Regions

The OHH initiative provides intensive care management and care coordination services for Medicaid beneficiaries diagnosed with an opioid addiction.

Participation is voluntary and enrolled beneficiaries may opt out at any time. In Michigan, half of Medicaid beneficiaries have an untreated mental illness . . .
