Summary
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is implementing a targeted lead abatement services initiative for Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries under 19 and pregnant women, effective January 1, 2017. This covers comprehensive lead hazard removal from eligible properties in Flint and other high-risk Michigan communities, with services provided by certified lead abatement professionals.
Action Required
This policy does not directly impact medical billing teams as it covers environmental lead abatement services rather than medical procedures. Healthcare providers should be aware that Medicaid patients may qualify for these services if they meet eligibility criteria (under 19 or pregnant, residing in eligible properties in Michigan).
