Summary
Michigan is implementing new enrollment and background screening requirements for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) providers serving Medicaid beneficiaries. All NEMT providers must enroll in the CHAMPS system and undergo criminal background checks before providing services, with monthly verification of disclosures required.
Action Required
By March 1, 2017: If your practice refers patients to NEMT providers in Michigan, verify that those transportation providers are enrolled in the CHAMPS system and have completed required background screenings. Update referral processes to only use compliant NEMT providers. This primarily affects practices that coordinate transportation for Medicaid patients in Michigan.
