Summary
Michigan Medicaid updated guidance for nursing facilities on returning non-available beds to service for COVID-19 treatment versus other reasons. COVID-19 bed returns don't negate the non-available bed plan but require quarterly logging, while non-COVID returns do negate the plan and require 30-day notification.
Action Required
No immediate action required for most healthcare practices. This policy specifically applies to nursing facilities with non-available bed plans under Michigan Medicaid and affects occupancy calculations and reporting requirements rather than billing codes or reimbursement.
