The Behavioral and Physical Health and Aging Services Administration (BPHASA) combines Michigan's Medicaid office, services for aging adults and community-based services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, serious mental illness, and substance use disorders under one umbrella within MDHHS. BPHASA is also the designated State Unit on Aging. The structure integrates teams that focus on aging and long-term care issues and allows BPHASA to develop innovative policies that benefit the state and its residents. It also builds upon existing efforts to deliver services to adults with mild to moderate mental illness.
