Human services: medical services; definition of complex rehabilitation technology; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 108a.

This law updates Michigan's social welfare act to establish clear definitions for "complex needs patients" and "complex rehabilitation technology," specifically covering advanced medical equipment like specialized wheelchairs and adaptive seating. It sets strict standards for suppliers, requiring them to be accredited, enrolled with Medicare, and staffed by certified professionals who must be physically present during patient evaluations. The bill also mandates that these suppliers provide training on equipment use and ensure repair services are available to maintain the devices. Additionally, it clarifies that health care professionals involved in these assessments must not have financial ties to the equipment suppliers to ensure unbiased recommendations.
