SUMMARY: Michigan is one of four states participating in the new Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation in Behavioral Health (IBH) Model, aimed at improving care for adults with mental health or substance use disorders enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare. Along with New York, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, Michigan will collaborate with community-based behavioral health providers to integrate behavioral and physical health care. The eight-year program, starting Wednesday, will focus on coordinated care to improve health outcomes and reduce hospitalizations. CMS will provide funding, up to $7.5M per state, to support this initiative, which was part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s agenda.

SUMMARY: A tornado struck Ada this morning, causing significant damage, including a partially ripped-off school roof and scattered debris. Emergency services are responding to gas leaks and continue to assess damage reports. Additionally, flooding had caused a backup on I-35 near 63rd Street, which has now been cleared. In Oklahoma City, severe storms are moving east, and although a tornado watch remains for one county, this is expected to end soon.

SUMMARY: Heartland Medical Direction, representing a third of Oklahoma’s EMS agencies, has sent a letter to Governor Kevin Stitt and other state leaders, citing consistent mismanagement and a lack of accountability within the state’s emergency medical services. Heartland claims this has compromised public safety and EMS care. Despite over a year of complaints to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), no action has been taken. The OSDH responded, calling the move disappointing and stating they are engaging with willing partners to improve the state’s trauma system, focusing on collaboration with those open to meaningful discussions.
