approved MIChild state plan.
(3) Children whose category of eligibility changes between the
Medicaid and MIChild programs shall be assured of keeping their
current health care providers through the current prescribed course
of treatment for up to 1 year, subject to periodic reviews by the

approved by the United States department of health and human
services, or from other medical services.
(8) The department shall assure that an external quality
review of each MIChild contractor, as described in subsection (5),
is performed, which analyzes and evaluates the aggregated
information on quality, timeliness, and access to health care
services that the contractor furnished to MIChild beneficiaries.

algorithm that is based on quality and performance factors.
(10) Subject to the availability of funds, MIChild services

direct services.
Sec. 1685. All nursing home rates, class I and class III,
shall have their respective fiscal year rate set 30 days prior to
the beginning of their rate year. Rates may take into account the
most recent cost report prepared and certified by the preparer,
provider corporate owner or representative as being true and
accurate, and filed timely, within 5 months of the fiscal year end
in accordance with Medicaid policy. If the audited version of the
last report is available, it shall be used. Any rate factors based

additional Medicaid eligible individuals are admitted to nursing
homes who would be more appropriately served by the Medicaid home-
and community-based services waiver program. It is the intent of
the legislature that when an individual is transferred from a
nursing home to the home- and community-based services waiver
program, the funding to cover that individual's home- and
community-based services waiver program costs shall be transferred
from the long-term care services line item to the Medicaid home-
and community-based services waiver line item. These funds are not
available for expenditure until they have been transferred to

include information regarding the net cost savings from moving
individuals from a nursing home to the home- and community-based
services waiver program, the number of individuals transitioned
from nursing homes to the home- and community-based services waiver
program, the number of individuals on waiting lists by region for
the program, and the amount of funds transferred during the fiscal
year. The report shall also include the number of Medicaid
individuals served and the number of days of care for the home- and
community-based services waiver program and in nursing homes.
(3) The department shall develop a system to collect and
analyze information regarding individuals on the home- and
community-based services waiver program waiting list to identify
the community supports they receive, including, but not limited to,
adult home help, food assistance, and housing assistance services
and to determine the extent to which these community supports help
individuals remain in their home and avoid entry into a nursing
home. The department shall provide a progress report on
implementation to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees
on community health and the senate and house fiscal agencies by
June 1 of the current fiscal year.
(4) The department shall maintain any policies, guidelines,
procedures, standards, and regulations in order to limit the self-
determination option with respect to the home- and community-based
services waiver program to those services furnished by approved
home-based service providers meeting provider qualifications
established in the waiver and approved by the centers for Medicare
and Medicaid services.
Sec. 1692. (1) The department is authorized to pursue
reimbursement for eligible services provided in Michigan schools
from the federal Medicaid program. The department and the state

disproportionate share hospital allotment and the centers for
Medicare and Medicaid services approves the distribution
methodology specified in this section, then the funding in the
disproportionate share hospital line in excess of $45,000,000.00 is
appropriated for special Medicaid reimbursement, of which 33.61%
