Working Together for Better Care
At Van Buren Community Mental Health (VBCMH), we deeply value our partnerships with contracted providers and professionals across our community.
We provide a strong network of specialized services and supports, tailored in the right amount and type, for as long as needed, to meet the needs of everyone who qualifies for specialty mental health and substance use services. We regularly review provider performance to make sure we meet Federal, State, and local requirements, as well as to support network growth, reduce costs, and improve quality. We work in partnership with Southwest Michigan Behavioral Health (SWMBH).

2025: Provider Notice and Notice for Families with Medicaid-Eligible Youth
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has received preliminary court approval for the settlement of litigation alleging that medically necessary intensive home and community-based services were not timely provided to Medicaid-eligible children and youth as required by Medicaid’s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) provisions. This litigation is known as D.D. v. MDHHS; formerly known as K.B. v. MDHHS.
The Class Action Notice, which outlines a summary of the settlement’s terms, as well as the full Agreement, can be found on the MDHHS website. Class members include all Medicaid-eligible beneficiaries under the age of 21 in the State of Michigan for whom a licensed practitioner of the healing arts acting within the scope of practice under state law has determined, through an assessment, that intensive home and community-based services are needed to correct or ameliorate their emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric condition.
For questions or more information, refer to the settlement Agreement or email MDHHS-BCCHPS-Questions@michigan.gov.
