Expansion of Evidence Based Programs in Gila and Pinal Counties

Applicable to: Mercy Care ACC-RBHA, Mercy Care LTC, and Mercy Care DDD

Mercy Care is excited to announce the expansion of Supported Employment (SE) and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) services. This expansion can help assist members living with SMI in the Mercy Care ALTCS, Mercy Care DDD, and Mercy Care ACC-RBHA lines of business.

Supported Employment (SE)

Supported Employment rapidly connects members seeking a job to employment opportunities that meet the members' job skills and preferences. Employment Specialists support members to obtain and maintain employment, and will stay with them for as long as they need job support.

Mercy Care has contracted with Beacon Group to provide SE services in Gila and Pinal counties and Wedco Employment to provide SE in Pinal County.

Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)

Permanent Supportive Housing services are available to members seeking to obtain or maintain their housing in the community.

Mercy Care has contracted with Horizon Health & Wellness and LaFrontera-EMPACT to deliver PSH services in Gila and Pinal counties.
