RESOLUTION URGING THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND
MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE TO EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT MANAGED CARE TO
MICHIGAN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
RESOLUTION #97-162
WHEREAS, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners recognizes the realities that market
work forces will necessitate behavioral managed health care being implemented in the Human
Service field in Michigan; and
WHEREAS, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners wants to make this transition as
effectively as possible while not disrupting the services to the clients.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners supports
the following positions regarding behavioral health managed care:
1. Ingham County Board of Commissioners supports the concept of accountable behavioral health
managed care with performance standards ensuring quality care. The Board believes that cost
containment in health care requires the health care delivery system to be at financial risk when its
practices create unreasonable costs;
2. Michigan's shift to behavioral health managed care should strive to protect
Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Community Mental Health (CEI-CMH) clients and Michigan's community
mental health system, recognizing that an effective behavioral mental health model has not yet
been implemented to emulate;
3. When CEI-CMH becomes a Managed Care Organization (MCO), it will become a health
insurer with insurance reserve requirements that must be met by Health Maintenance
Organizations (HMO's), requirements that protect its covered population; CEI-CMH cannot meet
these requirements as currently organized and funded, a problem that must be corrected in order
for CEI-CMH to reasonably undertake its MCO role;
4. If CMHB becomes an insurer of behavioral health services, it should operate only under
principles of "community rating" of its covered population and not under principles of "experience
rating" (or "skimming");
5. The state should be an MCO of last resort and assure financial capability to meet unexpected
increases in client need;
6. Accountability, control, and responsibility for public behavioral health funds through CMHB's (or similar community-based public entities) even where public funds may be given to for-profit businesses for managing or providing behavioral health services must remain with the public;
ADOPTED-JULY 22, 1997
RESOLUTION #97-162
7. Those developing a managed care behavioral health system must use assumptions based on
experience, assure financially that clients have uninterrupted care and uninterrupted access, give
CMHB's a clear fiscal path toward and a reasonable opportunity for successfully shifting to
managed care and make sense to the public.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Clerk is directed to send copies of this
Resolution to the Community Mental Health Board, Clinton and Eaton Counties, the Michigan
Association of Counties, and the Ingham County State Legislative Delegation.
