License Exempt Provider: 

A Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be mailed to first-time providers when MDHHS has processed the MDHHS 4025 Provider Verification  authorizing the enrolled provider to provide child care. A PIN will not be issued until the enrolled provider has completed License Exempt Provider Preservice Training (LEPPT).  This PIN will be used to associate your MiLogin for Citizens account with your provider ID giving the provider access to I-Billing to submit billing. For more information on creating that access, see Adding I-Billing to your MiLogin Account.  Please allow MDHHS 10 days processing time following the receipt of the MDHHS-4025 before reaching out to CDC for assistance. 

Current and returning providers who have previously had PINs issued will need to access I-Billing by using MiLogin. CDC is no longer able to offer courtesy PINs and PINs are no longer required to reset I Billing.  Please see Provider I-Billing (michigan.gov) for more information on how to associate your I Billing account to MiLogin.
