Michigan Behavioral Health Medicaid Rates

Current fee-for-service (FFS) rates published by Michigan Dept of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) for behavioral health codes. ABA therapy and psychotherapy codes, plus the E/M codes CMS requires in the Medicaid-vs-Medicare comparative analysis for outpatient mental health/SUD.

FFS benchmark rates only — managed care organization (MCO) contract rates may differ. Not legal or compliance advice.

Common questions

Is this the rate a Medicaid managed care plan pays? +

No. These are fee-for-service (FFS) benchmark rates published directly by Michigan's Medicaid agency. Managed care organizations (MCOs) negotiate their own contract rates separately, and those aren't published publicly — FFS rates are commonly used as a reference point, not a guarantee of what an MCO will pay.

How often does Michigan update this fee schedule? +

It varies by state and code — some update annually, others quarterly or on an as-needed basis. MedicaidBench checks official sources continuously and logs the effective date and source document for every rate change.
