Child Care Provider Billing

Child Care Providers accepting the subsidy should bill the state according to the rules in the CDC Handbook, briefly summarized below:

• License Exempt providers are instructed to bill based on a child’s attendance.
• Licensed providers are instructed to bill based on a child’s enrollment.

Note: Beginning 3/1/2024, to bill for child care subsidy, licensed providers must maintain a CDC Enrollment Agreement form (found in the CDC Handbook) or one that that includes:

• Name of child
• Effective date of schedule
• Total agreed enrollment hours
• Schedule
• Explanation if schedule varies
• Signature of parent

All providers should review the CDC Handbook for the complete list of rules that apply to their provider type.

Health and safety checklists and corrective action plans available for public viewing.

The Child Care and Development Block Grant Act requires that states provide information to the public that will promote informed child care choices, including provider-specific monitoring and inspection reports. Monitoring and inspection reports are already available for licensed providers through the public child care search tool. Beginning in October 2023, the health and safety checklists and corrective action plans for unrelated licensed exempt providers will be posted to the License Exempt Providers page on the Great Start to Quality website. Users will need to input a provider ID to access the reports.  The family name and location of the visit will be omitted from reports prior to posting.  Postings are available for a minimum of three years.  More information on Health and Safety Visits can be located Health and Safety Coaching Visits Process for License Exempt - Unrelated Providers (michigan.gov)
