Providers Impacted by Electronic Visit Verification,

In response to stakeholder feedback, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) will revise some of the policies in Bulletin MMP 23-42.

The process of enrolling in the Community Health Automated Medicaid Processing System (CHAMPS) is temporarily paused for providers of personal care services for Behavioral Health, MI Choice, Community Transition Services, and MI Health Link. An upcoming policy bulletin will include information on the date when CHAMPS provider enrollment will resume and be required for these programs.

As a reminder, Home Help providers must continue to enroll and keep their enrollment information up-to-date in CHAMPS.

Although enrollment in CHAMPS is temporarily paused, providers are asked to continue to obtain a National Provider Identifier (NPI). To obtain an NPI, providers must complete the online application at the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) website at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov. Providers must apply as a Type 2 (Organization) NPI.

Providers who must obtain an NPI are shown in the table below and should begin the process as soon as possible.
