Human services: medical services; access to complex rehabilitation technology; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 108b. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0450'23

This bill directs the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to create specific rules and policies for providing complex rehabilitation technology, such as advanced wheelchairs and seating systems, to individuals with complex medical needs. The legislation establishes standards for suppliers, requires evaluations by qualified professionals, and mandates that payment rates be sufficient to cover the resources needed for these specialized devices. Additionally, it exempts these specific medical codes from bidding processes and requires managed care Medicaid plans to follow the new regulations. The bill will only become effective if it is passed together with a companion bill, SB 450.
