LRE 2023 SUD Prevention Procurement Application Documents

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has issued many COVID-19 Response Medicaid Policy Bulletins and L-Letters as a result of the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) and the continued consequences of the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Many of the COVID-19 Response policy bulletins and L-Letters were intended to be time-limited.

With the end of the PHE in sight, MDHHS would like to welcome providers and community partners to upcoming virtual sessions. These virtual sessions intend to offer guidance for providers and community partners and will:

• Refresh providers and partners on what the PHE is and actions MDHHS is taking to unwind from the PHE, communication strategies, and next steps,
• Solicit input from providers and other community partners on additional toolkit creation.
