MBI Health Services

What MBI Health Services does

MBI Health Services, LLC is a District of Columbia certified behavioral and mental health agency founded in 2009 and headquartered in Washington, DC. The company operates as a direct-service, community-based behavioral health provider delivering care under 13+ distinct program lines including a Free Standing Mental Health Clinic & Core Services Agency, Home Health Care Services, Day Treatment Program, Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), a Children's Program using Multisystemic Therapy (MST), a Transitional Age Youth Division using the TIP model, Adult Day Health Program (ADHP), the New Day Recovery Center for Substance Use Disorder, Health Home Services, Housing Programs (Supportive Independent Living, Permanent Supportive Housing, Homelessness Prevention, Supportive Residence), the Returning Citizens Program, and RSA & Supported Employment Services. The underlying technology stack is a conventional healthcare services delivery model — multi-site intake, coordinated care planning, and community-based field operations — with no disclosed proprietary software, AI/ML components, or platform architecture beyond a careers portal (Paycom) and a content marketing website.

MBI's business model is managed-services delivery funded almost entirely through DC government healthcare payers. Revenue is generated via Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement, supplemented by contract relationships with the DC Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), DC Department on Disability Services (DDS), DC Department of Health Care Finance (DCHCF), DC Department of Human Services (DHS), DC Department of Corrections (DOC), the Mayor's Office on Returning Citizens Affairs (MORCA), the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), and the DC Department of Health (DOH). Service fees are set by government contracts and insurance verification rather than published pricing, and intake is centralized via a dedicated phone line (202-388-9202) with physical access through six or more locations across Washington, DC.

The company serves seven primary persona segments: adults with mental health needs, children and youth (ages 5-17), transitional age youth (ages 14-29), seniors (age 55+), returning citizens, individuals with disabilities, and homeless individuals and families. Distribution is geographic and referral-driven rather than commercial — clients enter through government agency referrals, the central intake line, the Assessment and Referral Center, or the Virginia Williams Family Resource Center. MBI has no disclosed private equity or venture backing, no parent company, and no M&A activity in the data set; ownership commentary indicates founder/management control with CEO Marie Morilus-Black in place since November 2017. Operations are confined to the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area, with no global footprint claim and no current expansion signals beyond incremental program additions and a DC Board of Nursing Nurse Staffing Agency license.
