The Michigan legislature approved a revised version of Section 298 as part of Public Act 207 of 2018. Under Sub-Section 2 of Section 298, the Michigan Legislature directed the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to "implement up to 3 pilot projects to achieve fully financially integrated Medicaid behavioral health and physical health benefit and financial integration demonstration models. These demonstration models shall use single contracts between the state and each licensed Medicaid health plan that is currently contracted to provide Medicaid services in the geographic area of the pilot project." Update information on the pilot sites is included below.
Publication on the Concept Paper on the Unenrolled Population
Since the release of the November Report, MDHHS has continued to work on addressing identified barriers to the implementation of the pilots. As part of this process, MDHHS has been exploring options for providing coverage to individuals who reside in the pilot region but are not enrolled in a Medicaid Health Plan. MDHHS has published the following concept paper on the proposed approach for managing specialty behavioral health services for the unenrolled population during the pilots.

On March 9, 2018, MDHHS has announced the pilot sites for the Section 298 Initiative. MDHHS used a Request for Information (RFI) process in order to select the pilot sites. Based upon this process, MDHHS has selected the following three sites:
