MI Choice Waiver Program

We administer the ‘MI Choice’ (Medicaid) Home and Community Based Waiver, a long term, in-home care program designed to provide services to the elderly and the disabled. The MI choice (Medicaid) Waiver Program provides services to help you remain independent in your own home, the home of the another, an Adult Foster Care Home, or a Home for the Aged.

Our Information and Referral Specialist can take your calls and perform an assessment in the home, hospital, or nursing home can be scheduled with one of our care coordination teams.

To reach an Information and Referral Specialist please call 1-800-858-1637

The MI Choice program is funded in part by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). Please click here for a PBS news article about the MI Choice Medicaid Waiver program.
