If your facility provides residential psychiatric treatment to children/adolescents under 21: Contact Michigan Medicaid to verify PRTF certification requirements and enrollment in CHAMPS system. Ensure compliance with licensing requirements (CCI license for under 18, Adult Foster Care license for 18+) and obtain required accreditation. Update billing processes to coordinate with PIHPs for service authorization and medical necessity documentation.
