Summary

Michigan Medicaid corrected requirements for parental consent on children's durable medical equipment - evaluations are not required for all products and digital signatures are now accepted alongside handwritten ones. The consent must still be obtained before delivery and submitted with prior authorization requests when required.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: DME billing teams in Michigan must update parental consent processes to accept both handwritten and digitally drawn signatures. Remove any requirements for home-based evaluations for all children's products - refer to Medicaid Provider Manual for specific evaluation requirements by product type. Ensure consent is still obtained before delivery and included with prior authorization requests.
