MI HB6046

Establishes coverage under Michigan's medical assistance program for community violence prevention services provided to individuals referred by health professionals who have experienced violent injury or chronic exposure to community violence.

Defines community violence prevention services as evidence-informed, trauma-informed services including peer support, mentorship, conflict mediation, crisis intervention, case management, and health coaching provided by certified violence prevention professionals or community health workers.

Requires the department to approve training and certification programs for violence prevention professionals that include at least 35 hours each in trauma-informed care, community violence prevention strategies, and HIPAA compliance.

Directs the department to seek federal approvals, establish reimbursement rates based on Medicaid outpatient rates, issue guidance, and may award grants to community-based organizations for training and capacity-building.

Takes effect October 1, 2025, and implementation is contingent on obtaining necessary federal financial participation and approvals from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
