How to Become An E-Biller

It is possible for clearinghouses, software vendors, billing agents, and service bureaus to all handle electronic claims. They are all classified differently and some can be considered multiple depending on the type of business that they complete. Only a billing agent will be able to enroll in the Michigan Medicaid Community Health Automated Medicaid Processing System (CHAMPS) system. 


All new Billing Agent enrollments must be completed utilizing the CHAMPS system. This process replaces the paper enrollment using the "Billing Agent ID Request" form. All providers who are associated to a Billing Agent will not be able to complete a new enrollment until the Billing Agent has been approved in CHAMPS. The use or storage of data on any system or servers outside of the United States is expressly prohibited pursuant to the State of Michigan and DTMB policy.
