Summary
Michigan Medicaid increased the allowable guardian/conservator income deduction from an unspecified amount to $83 per month when determining medical services eligibility and patient pay amounts. This affects income calculations for beneficiaries with court-appointed guardians/conservators in specific Medicaid programs.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing team. This is an eligibility determination change that affects patient pay amounts calculated by Michigan Medicaid, not billing procedures or codes. Michigan Medicaid will handle the income deduction calculations internally.
