Michigan Medicaid updated home health Plan of Care requirements to align with Medicare CoP rules, requiring new POC elements and changing home health aide supervision from every 2 weeks to every 14 days. Key changes include mandatory documentation of first visit dates, start dates, other resources used, and specific circumstances requiring home care.
Action Required
