What Is CHAMPS
What Is CHAMPS and Why Is It Required?
CHAMPS is the web-based, rules-driven system used by the state of Michigan to manage Medicaid provider enrollment. This system is required by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) to verify the eligibility of every caregiver in the program.
By using this system, every caregiver is authorized and verified before care begins. Without an active CHAMPS profile, you cannot receive your state pay. It confirms identity and ensures compliance with Michigan Medicaid requirements.
The Provider Enrollment Process
Getting enrolled in CHAMPS is a multi-step process. The good news: Family Love Care handles the entire CHAMPS registration from start to finish for caregivers who would like that — and nearly all caregivers do. You do not need to navigate this complex system on your own.
