Summary
Michigan updated its COVID Relief (CR) Facilities policy for nursing facilities treating COVID-19 residents under Medicaid, establishing a one-year determination period from October 1 to September 30 and updating operational guidance. This policy allows eligible nursing facilities to retain COVID-positive residents and admit new COVID-positive residents under special circumstances with enhanced infection control standards.
Action Required
For practices with nursing facility components in Michigan: Review updated CR Facility designation criteria and standards if your facility treats COVID-19 residents under Medicaid. Submit required MDHHS application if seeking to retain or admit COVID-positive residents. Ensure compliance with physical plant, staffing, infection control, and testing standards outlined in the policy.
