Request For Interest Substance Use Disorder Health Homes
Issue Date: December 3, 2024
The Substance Use Disorder Health Home (SUDHH) provides comprehensive care management and coordination services to Medicaid beneficiaries with an alcohol use disorder, stimulant use disorder or opioid use disorder. For enrolled beneficiaries, the SUDHH functions as the central point of contact for directing and coordinating patient centered care across the broader health care system. The model elevates the role and importance of Peer Recovery Coaches and Community Health Workers to foster direct empathy and raise overall health and wellness. In doing so, this will attend to a beneficiary’s health and social needs. Participation is voluntary and enrolled beneficiaries may opt-out at any time.
Michigan has five overarching goals for the SUDHH program: 1) improve care management of beneficiaries including medications for opioid use disorder and medications for alcohol use disorder; 2) improve care coordination between physical and behavioral health care services; 3) improve care transitions between primary, specialty, and inpatient settings of care; 4) improve coordination to dental care; 5) educate on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
Michigan’s SUDHH model is comprised of a team, including a Lead Entity (LE) and designated Health Home Partners (HHP). MSHN functions as the Lead Entity. Qualified providers function as Health Home Partners. Providers must meet the specific qualifications set forth in the State Plan Amendment, Medicaid Services Administration policy, the SUDHH Handbook and provide the six federally required core health home services. Michigan’s SUDHHs must coordinate with other community-based organizations to manage the full breadth of beneficiary needs.
This document outlines the Mid-State Health Network (MSHN) Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan’s need to expand SUD Health Homes in the 21-county region, following the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ (MDHHS) SUD Handbook.
Statement of Interest must be received by 11:59 p.m. EST on December 20, 2024 via email to the MSHN Contract Specialist at Kyle.Jaskulka@midstatehealthnetwork.org.
