The cost of mental health services is paid for by private insurance companies or public health care coverage e.g., Medicaid, Healthy Michigan.

Individuals with Public Health Care coverage may choose a health plan (e.g., Meridian, Molina, etc.) and use up to 20 visits before being referred to Macomb County Community Mental Health for additional mental health services in that calendar year.

If you think hospital care may be needed, or if you aren't sure, call CMH Access Center and speak to the Open Access Coordinator. They will help arrange hospital care if it is needed.
