Action Required
By October 1, 2017: Billing team should verify with Michigan Medicaid beneficiaries if they pay court-appointed guardian/conservator fees up to $95/month, as this may affect their patient pay amounts and eligibility determinations. Document verification of paid fees by fiscal group members for applicable cases.
