Legal Status, Program Participation, and Governing Body

States the Agency's legal standing (Michigan does not license non-medical home care, so the Agency operates as a registered business and a Medicaid provider), the programs it may take part in and the standards each one imposes, and the duties of the governing body: adopting and reviewing policies, keeping the insurance the MI Choice Waiver requires, and managing a change of ownership, withdrawal from a program or closure without leaving clients or records unprotected.

In short

  • Michigan does not license non-medical home care. Never call the Agency "state licensed".
  • The Agency works through Home Help, MI Choice contracts with waiver agencies, and private pay.
  • The governing body adopts and reviews every policy and keeps the required insurance in force.
  • Program rules come from the Michigan Medicaid Provider Manual and change each quarter.
  • If the Agency leaves a program or closes, clients get notice and records stay safe for the full retention period.
