Summary
Michigan Medicaid introduces expanded coverage for Overnight Health and Safety Support (OHSS) services under three behavioral health waiver programs (CWP, HSW, SEDW), providing overnight supervision for eligible beneficiaries in community settings. This service requires awake providers to supervise beneficiaries overnight (up to 12 hours) to maintain independent living arrangements.
Action Required
Billing teams serving Michigan Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in CWP, HSW, or SEDW waiver programs should verify eligibility for OHSS services and ensure proper documentation of medical necessity through the person-centered planning process. Coordinate with PIHPs and CMHSPs for service authorization and billing procedures for overnight supervision services.
