Important Notice: Providers who anticipate receiving payments from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) If you are a provider that will be expecting compensation for services performed for MDHHS, you need to register with the Statewide Integrated Governmental Management Applications (SIGMA) Vendor Self Service (VSS) at www.michigan.gov/sigmavss. Click on the Register button. Once registered in SIGMA VSS, you will receive a SIGMA Vendor ID that will allow you to get paid for services performed.
