照顾亲人是一个人可以承担的最重要的责任之一。在Michigan，许多家庭不知道他们可以获得提供这一重要支持的报酬。Michigan Home Help Program由Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS)管理，允许Michigan居民在自己的家中接受他们信任的人的帮助。
然而，成为有偿护理人员需要满足州政府设定的某些要求。在Family Love Care，我们的团队致力于帮助家庭了解Michigan home help护理人员要求，以便您可以专注于亲人的健康。
Michigan Home Help Program是一项由Medicaid资助的计划，专为因残疾或年龄而需要日常活动帮助的个人设计。该计划旨在通过允许参与者在熟悉的环境中接受护理而不是在护理设施中来促进独立性。由于该计划由Michigan Medicaid资助，它遵循严格的资格标准。在Family Love Care，我们帮助申请人在开始申请流程之前确定他们是否符合资格。

Enrollment in the CHAMPS System
CHAMPS (Community Health Automated Medicaid Processing System) is Michigan’s required portal for Medicaid providers. The system can be difficult to navigate, and errors can delay approval and payment.
Important:
Caregivers must create their own provider profile in CHAMPS. This process is not simply tied to the person receiving care and must be done correctly.
Family Love Care manages the entire CHAMPS registration from start to finish, including revalidation (typically every 5 years) to prevent payment lapses.

Medicare Does Not Fund the Home Help Program
To qualify, the person receiving services must be enrolled in Michigan Medicaid. If your loved one only has Medicare, they will not be eligible for paid family caregivers through this program.
If you are unsure of your Medicaid eligibility, our team can help you review your health coverage options.
