Summary
Michigan Home Help providers cannot bill for services on the day a client is admitted to hospitals, nursing facilities, AFC facilities, or correctional institutions, but can bill on discharge day. Facility stays must be reported within 10 business days of discharge to avoid payment denials and recoupment.

Establish process to report facility stays to adult services workers within 10 business days of discharge.
