Our Mission
Statement says, "It is the belief of Clinton County that providing
appropriate, efficient, cost effective services to individuals with
Mental Illness, Chronic Mental Illness, Mental Retardation, or
Developmental Disability is in the best interest of all the residents of
Clinton County. This Plan has been developed with consumer choice,
empowerment, and the community in mind."
The Plan this
Mission Statement references is called the Clinton County Management
Plan. This Plan dictates and provides guidelines for management of
the Mental Health Funds. It is important to understand that our
office does not provide services, we manage the funds paid to contracted
providers by ensuring persons requesting services meet "eligibility
guidelines".
Eligibility
guidelines mean the person has a diagnosis defined under the Clinton
County Management Plan, must meet income and
resource guidelines, again as defined under the Clinton County
Management Plan, and must either be a resident of Clinton County or have
a legal settlement in Clinton County. Also, an individual cannot
just request any service, our Plan defines what services Clinton County
will fund specific to each covered diagnosis.
Additionally,
since our office is responsible to manage Clinton County dollars, we
expect that when an individual (and/or their representing services
provider) requests a service, the individual must have a
demonstrated need, the service is cost effective with no other
identified payment source and is a covered service under our Clinton
County Management Plan.
Persons wishing to
complete the required Central Point of
Coordination Application to determine if they are eligible for
county assistance may either complete the application on-line and email
back to this office, or contact our office to schedule an appointment to
complete the application.
Persons who are
unsure if they meet eligibility guidelines or have questions regarding
services that Clinton County provides may contact our office.
