Individual Caregivers
Individual Caregivers
An individual caregiver or provider is defined by MDHHS as the direct care worker employed directly by the Medicaid beneficiary, also known as the client. The individual provides Home Help personal care services to the Medicaid beneficiary and submits directly to Michigan Medicaid to be paid.
Individual caregivers must have their enrollment approved through the online MDHHS CHAMPS Provider Enrollment (PE) subsystem to be reimbursed for covered services rendered to eligible Medicaid beneficiaries.
The individual caregiver has the option to be enrolled on their own or on their own and associate to an enrolled Home Help agency.
Please note if you currently work for an agency they might complete the CHAMPS enrollment file on your behalf.

Payments will continue to be based on the data recorded on the current service verification methods until further notice. Details can be found in L Letter 24-38.
