Summary
Michigan Medicaid is reducing the monthly income disregard for court-ordered guardian/conservator fees from $95 to $83 per month, effective November 1, 2018. This affects eligibility determination and patient pay amounts for specific Medicaid programs including Group 2 under 21, Caretaker Relative, and SSI-related Medicaid.
Action Required
By November 1, 2018: Billing team should update patient eligibility verification procedures to account for the reduced guardian/conservator fee disregard ($83 instead of $95) when calculating patient pay amounts for affected Michigan Medicaid beneficiaries. Verify that guardian/conservator fees are properly documented and paid by fiscal group members.
