Stakeholder AFP Review – Web Listing


Background: As you may know each Community Mental Health organization (CMH) throughout the state of Michigan must submit in Application for Participation (AFP) in order to retain its role as the manager of Medicaid-funded mental health care in their community. This CMH is submitting this application as part of four CMH (six county) affiliation that covers Gratiot, Ionia, Newaygo, Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties.


Stakeholder Review: This CMH, and its affiliate partners, see great value in the review, of the draft Application for Participation (AFP), but stakeholders drawn from the communities of the four Affiliate CMHs. This review is key to ensuring that the Application outlines a course of action that:

  • Ensures consumer choice and empowerment
  • Reflects local needs
  • Meets the requirements, as established by the Michigan Department of Community Health
  • Reflects leading edge clinical and supports provision approaches and industry standards relative to a wide range of administrative and care management functions
  • Ensures that the public/common good is promoted

This process, and its timelines, were developed by stakeholders. Your comments, and those of many others (CMH’s Advisory Councils, etc.) will be used to guide the development of the AFP and the work of this CMH after the AFP submission.
