Michigan § 330.1812 - Insurance coverage as part of ability to pay.

If an individual is covered, in part or in whole, under any type of insurance coverage, private or public, for services provided directly by or by contract with the department or a community mental health services program, the benefits from that insurance coverage are considered to be available to pay the individual's financial liability, notwithstanding that the insurance contract was entered into by a person other than the individual or notwithstanding that the insurance coverage was paid for by a person other than the individual.

Insurance coverage is considered available to pay for the individual's financial liability for services provided by the department or a community mental health services program or its contractee in the amount and to the same extent that coverage would be available to cover the cost of services if the individual had received the services from a health care provider other than the department or a community mental health services program or its contractee.
