The MHA is issuing a request for proposal (RFP) for a $2.5 million competitive grant program for Michigan healthcare entities to expand access to hospital-based peer recovery coach (PRC) services. The funding was appropriated by the Michigan Legislature as part of the state fiscal year 2025 budget to prepare hospitals for implementation of PRC billing to Medicaid in FY 2026.
The grant program will award funds to entities across the state of Michigan who wish to develop, or expand, hospital-based peer recovery coach programs. All facilities are eligible to apply, regardless of whether they currently employ peer recovery coaches or not.
Further information about the RFP application process, as well as templates, are available on the MHA Behavioral Health webpage.
The MHA will accept online applications through May 9, 2025. All applications will be blindly reviewed and scored to determine funding allocations. No email or hard copy applications will be accepted.
Members with questions may contact Kelsey Ostergren at the MHA.
