Insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid coverage

Medicare covers home health when ordered by a physician, the patient is homebound, and skilled care is needed. Medicaid covers it more broadly through state HCBS waivers — eligibility, copays, and approval timelines vary by state.

Michigan Medicaid covers home health care through the MI Choice Waiver Program program. To qualify, residents typically need to meet the financial threshold (about $2,901/month for an individual) and have a documented care need that would otherwise require nursing-facility-level care. Applications go through Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which is also the licensing authority for these providers.

Michigan Medicaid & eligibility deep dive

Eligibility for Michigan Medicaid

To qualify for home health care under Michigan Medicaid, applicants generally need to meet two criteria: financial eligibility and a documented care need. Financial eligibility is based on income — typically $2,901/month for an individual — and on countable assets, usually capped around $2,000 for an individual (with separate rules for spouses). The care-need test typically requires a level-of-care assessment showing the applicant would need nursing-facility-level care without home- and community-based support.

The MI Choice Waiver Program program

Michigan's primary vehicle for home health care coverage is the MI Choice Waiver Program. Covered services typically include skilled nursing visits, physical and occupational therapy, home health aide hours, medical social services, durable medical equipment, and respite for family caregivers. Some recipients qualify for round-the-clock personal care assistance — coverage levels vary by assessed need.

How to apply

1. Complete the Medicaid application through Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/), by phone, in person at a local office, or through healthcare.gov.
2. Provide income documentation (pay stubs, tax returns, Social Security benefit letters), bank statements, and proof of citizenship or legal residency.
3. Once enrolled in Medicaid, request a long-term services and supports (LTSS) assessment to determine eligibility for the MI Choice Waiver Program.
4. If approved, you can choose any participating home health care provider — the ones listed below all accept Medicaid where they have contracts.

Application timelines vary: Medicaid itself can be approved in 30–45 days for most applicants, while waiver enrollment may take 60–180 days due to assessments and waitlists. Some Michigan regions have shorter waitlists than others — typically urban metros move faster than rural counties.

How to choose a home health care provider

When you compare home health care providers, focus on five things: (1) certification status (Medicare- or Medicaid-certified for clinical care; SAMHSA-listed for behavioral health), (2) services offered relative to the specific need, (3) which insurance plans and Medicaid waivers they accept, (4) how quickly they can start, (5) patient and family reviews where available. Reputable providers explain coverage, costs, and care plans up front; high-pressure sales tactics are a red flag.

Before signing a care agreement, ask for the answers to these questions in writing: which services are billed to Medicare/Medicaid versus billed to you out of pocket; who is the primary care coordinator; how the agency handles after-hours calls and emergencies; the typical response time for new requests; and two or three references from current patients or families. Providers who refuse to share references are a yellow flag — keep looking.
