St. Clair County Community Mental Health

What St. Clair County Community Mental Health does

St. Clair County Community Mental Health (SCCCMH) is a county-level public mental health authority established under the Michigan Mental Health Code and headquartered at 3111 Electric Avenue in Port Huron, Michigan. Designated as a Community Mental Health Services Program (CMHSP) and operating under contract with Region 10 Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), SCCCMH delivers the full statutory continuum of specialty behavioral health services to residents of St. Clair County. Service lines include adult mental health treatment, children's mental health and autism services (including Applied Behavior Analysis under EPSDT), Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), substance use disorder treatment with medication-assisted modalities, crisis intervention, peer supports, jail diversion, veterans' services, habilitation supports for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, and telepsychiatry. The population served spans Medicaid beneficiaries, Healthy Michigan Plan enrollees, uninsured and underinsured individuals (including through a sliding-scale fee schedule effective October 1, 2023), and Veterans Health Administration referrals, in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Mental Health Code and Recipient Rights protections.

The organization runs on a shared electronic health record infrastructure — OASIS for clinical documentation, billing, claims, and e-prescribing across St. Clair, Sanilac, and Lapeer CMHs, with a CEHR patient portal providing 24-hour consumer access to health records. A defining operational feature is the co-location of the People's Clinic for Better Health (a Lake Huron Foundation-operated non-profit primary care clinic) inside the SCCCMH headquarters, enabling Electronic Medical Record-shared behavioral and physical healthcare integration, walk-in primary care, and a centralized intake unit as the front door to services. Governance is multi-stakeholder, comprising a Board of Directors, Advisory Council, Teen Advisory Group, Recipient Rights Advisory Committee, and compliance with HIPAA/HITECH, CARF accreditation standards, and MDHHS policy requirements.

SCCCMH's economic model is a public, fee-for-service and capitated arrangement with Region 10 PIHP and MDHHS, supplemented by a sliding-scale ability-to-pay assessment for non-Medicaid consumers and by donations; pricing is not publicly disclosed and the entity is statutorily barred from denying services for inability to pay in non-emergent contexts (though refusal to pay assessed fees can result in service denial). Distribution is exclusively domestic, single-county, delivered via direct service at the Port Huron main office, contracted provider network, and telepsychiatry, with no commercial sales motion and no proprietary technology productized for external buyers.
