Macomb County Community Mental Health (MCCMH) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Outpatient Mental Health Services targeting providers who can deliver comprehensive mental health services to adults and children in Macomb County, Michigan. The procurement seeks qualified bidders to provide a range of services including case management, psychiatric care, nursing services, therapy, and peer support services, with a specific focus on serving individuals with severe mental illness and serious emotional disturbance. Bidders must demonstrate expertise in Medicaid billing, compliance with healthcare regulations, and ability to provide timely care with intakes within 14 days of request. The RFP was posted on June 16, 2025, with proposals due by July 14, 2025, at 12:00 PM, and the anticipated contract period will run through September 30, 2027, with potential renewal options. Evaluation criteria will emphasize the vendor's experience, expertise, staffing, compliance history, and ability to meet general requirements, with providers required to use MCCMH's electronic medical record system (FOCUS) for documentation and claims. A voluntary bidder meeting is scheduled for June 23, 2025, at 9:30 AM, with both in-person and virtual attendance options.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, but requires extensive documentation including federal W-9 forms, current licenses, accreditation certificates, and insurance policies. Providers must demonstrate compliance with ADA regulations, language competencies, and capabilities to serve special populations, with background checks and professional credential verifications mandatory. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the county will utilize standard rates across their provider network and expects bidders to be familiar with applicable CPT codes and reimbursement schedules. Providers must submit comprehensive organizational information, including financial statements, litigation history, and articles of incorporation, with explicit provisions that false or incomplete information could result in application denial or network participation termination. Though specific award values are not detailed, the reimbursement schedule indicates a comprehensive coding system with over 200 unique service codes spanning various psychiatric and therapeutic interventions, suggesting a robust and potentially significant contract opportunity for qualified mental health service providers.
