If the county provides for MHMR evaluations, and intake or out reach personnel, are those services countable?
Yes, the county may count these services if it is paying someone to do evaluations or paying physicians to examine people to see if they are in need of mental health services. Transportation costs for the patient would also be a countable expense. However, court procedures such as continued commitment or medication hearings would not be a countable expense. These are not considered direct health care services.
