Summary
Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services is implementing an electronic Asset Verification Program (AVP) that will automatically detect unreported financial assets for Medicaid applicants and recipients. This process may delay healthcare coverage certification by up to 10 days while asset verification is completed.
Action Required
By January 1, 2018: Billing team should inform patients that Medicaid eligibility verification may take up to 10 additional days due to new asset verification requirements. Update patient communication processes to set expectations for potential delays in coverage certification. Front desk staff should advise Michigan Medicaid patients to apply earlier to account for extended processing times.
