Michigan Home Care, Home Health and Hospice Policy Manuals
Michigan licenses hospices but not home care or home health agencies. LARA's Bureau of Community and Health Systems licenses hospices under the Public Health Code and Mich. Admin. Code R 325.45101 to R 325.45385. Home health agencies need no state license: they are Medicare-certified, and LARA's Bureau of Survey and Certification surveys them for Medicare. Non-medical home care agencies work under MDHHS programs such as Home Help and the MI Choice Waiver, or for private pay. Choose the manual for your kind of agency. Every policy names the rule it follows.

Questions about Michigan manuals
Do we need a state license to provide home care in Michigan?
Not for non-medical home care or home health. LARA licenses no home care agency category, and it states that state licensing is not required for home health agencies, which rely on Medicare certification instead. Hospices are licensed by LARA.
