Summary
Michigan's CSHCS program is temporarily suspending periodic and random income reviews during the Public Health Emergency, accepting self-declared income instead. This affects billing for children with special healthcare needs who are not Medicaid-eligible.
Action Required
Immediately: For Michigan CSHCS beneficiaries, billing team should accept self-declared income on Form MSA-0738 without conducting periodic income verification. Continue normal billing processes but note that income reviews are suspended during PHE. This primarily affects patient eligibility verification rather than billing codes.
