Summary: EMQ Families First provides mental health related services on behalf of MDUSD according to student's Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) On January 1, 2015, the District changed the manner in which it is processing billing for mental health services. Prior to this time, the billing was processed through Contra Costa County Mental Health (CMH). As of January 1, 2015, the agencies involved will directly bill with the District. This will eliminate the billing surcharge from CMH to remain fiscally responsible, while still maintaining quality service to students.
