Mental Health Services
Most mental health services must be pre-approved by the MHP before the psychiatrist or therapist can be reimbursed by MC. Prior approval is not required for hospital services when an individual needs hospital admission for emergency mental health treatment.
When an MC recipient needs mental health services, he/she should contact his/her family doctor, clinic, or the MHP for approval.
