Flow of Funds (subject to CMS approval) MACMHB ~ www.macmhb.org ~ 517-374-6848 Federal Medicare, Federal Medicaid and State Medicaid Match flow to MDCH. MDCH will contract with two different types of entities: Integrated Care Organizations (ICOs) for managing all physical health care, pharmacy, long term care, nursing facility services. ICOs are defined as an insurance-based or provider based health organization that will manage and contract for physical health care services. These ICOs will be identified through a bidding process.

How Integration Happens MACMHB ~ www.macmhb.org ~ 517-374-6848 The Care Bridge: • A services or supports coordinator leads a multidisciplinary team to coordinate services & supports for the beneficiary according to a self determined, person centered plan of care • The services or supports coordinator has 24/7 contact responsibility for the beneficiary • Leading coordinating entity (ICO or PIHP) is defined by beneficiary and highest care need.
