Accessing Services
Lapeer County Community Mental Health is part of the Region 10 Pre-paid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP), which operates a centralized access / screening system. Lapeer County residents may contact the ACCESS Line by calling Lapeer: (810) 667-0500 or (800) 225-4447. The Access Center screens the caller for eligibility, specific entry / reentry.
Once residential eligibility and clinical eligibility is met, a biopsychosocial is authorized. Once eligibility is determined and services are authorized, an initial intake appointment is scheduled by the access center staff in consultation with LCCMH Intake staff. At the initial appointment, an intake assessment is completed by a master level clinician then reviewed by the supervisor for qualification of services.
