Michigan Habilitation Supports Waiver

Before you start

  • Complete notices, Medicaid status, diagnostic and developmental records, PMLA and other level-of-care evidence when requested, current Individual Plan of Service, current needs and risks, contacts, and requested outcome.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the CMHSP serving the county, its Customer Services unit, the assigned supports coordinator, or the exact contact on the controlling notice.

Find the CMHSP serving the county

Step by step

  1. Ask which HSW element is favorable, pending, or adverse: Medicaid, target group, ICF/IID level of care, documentation, available slot, enrollment, plan, or authorization.
  2. Preserve the written result and the exact appeal instructions.
  3. Continue non-HSW CMHSP and general-fund planning where applicable rather than treating HSW as the only service lane.

Expected next

A documented HSW eligibility, capacity, enrollment, information request, plan event, or adverse notice.

Save this proof

Notices, application and level-of-care records, capacity state, contacts, requests, responses, and next dates.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the CMHSP or PIHP HSW coordinator to name the exact open dependency and use the controlling notice’s review route.
