Summary
Michigan Medicaid has replaced the Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program section with a new comprehensive Brain Injury Services (BIS) chapter in their Provider Manual. This expands coverage to include both traumatic and acquired brain injuries with detailed service definitions, eligibility criteria, and provider requirements.
Action Required
Michigan providers serving brain injury patients: Review the new BIS chapter to understand expanded eligibility criteria (now includes acquired brain injuries, not just traumatic), updated service definitions for cognitive rehabilitation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, and behavioral services. Update intake processes to screen for both traumatic and acquired brain injuries. Contact MDHHS-MSA-BIS@michigan.gov for BIS program applications.
