​Implementation of January 1, 2023, Rate Study Increases for Section 2, Adult Family Care Homes (AFCH), CR 116777​

As of today, April 19, 2023, updated rates for Section 2, AFCH are now available for billing in MIHMS. These changes will be effective retroactively to January 1, 2023, and are a result of our recent rate study conducted in relation to P.L. 2021 Ch.398, Part AAAA. We have posted new rates to the MIHMS Provider Fee Schedule that will apply to services provided on or after, January 1, 2023. 

To determine the appropriate rate for each member, providers must identify the resource group in addition to the size and type of AFCH home in which the member resides.  

Please bill the appropriate rates under revenue code 3104, as listed below.
