Home Helper’s New Payment System

By on June 15, 2015 in Front Page Announcement Only

I researched for my members, upcoming changes to the Medicaid funded home helper’s reporting, as of July 2015.   I’m  passing this information along to you.  Starting in July, the helpers will need to report online, in order to be paid for their services.  You can check out the Electronic Service Verification (ESV) online on Michigan.gov/homehelp.  My instructions (attached) are from a You Tube video, the address is on the instructions in a handout for members and their home helpers.  Home helpers can learn to use the State’s Community Health Automated Medicaid Processing System (CHAMPS) to access their Electronic Service Verification (ESV).  All times and specific services will be recorded each month by the home helpers and submitted electronically. It looks easy, just clicking the mouse!  Especially when Members have a home helper that is a friend or family member, member will be concerned with them receiving payments for taking care of them. My member’s home helper is also a member.  We had a computer use tutoring session in my office this morning!  It went great!  Hope this will be helpful!
