I got an email today from Mary Swift that directed me to this great section of the michigan.gov site. Check out these resources from the
Michigan Department of Community Health .
See if you qualify for the
Family Support Subsidy program.
Check out this brochure describing how the
Respite program works.
Or see if the State can help you better work with your insurance company to get the services your child needs:
| Insurance Advocacy |
The Insurance Advocacy for Home-Based Alternatives Program works statewide to help families maximize insurance coverage for home care services. The program:
- helps families understand the benefits available under their insurance contracts,
- coaches families through the process of negotiating approval for home care services that may or may not be regular benefits under the insurance contracts, and
- assists families in resolving denials of home care services.
In addition, the program reviews each referral to ensure prompt coordination with all publicly funded home care resources and use of all available routes to achieve Medicaid eligibility. Services: Over 900 children and families are served annually.

There are several other cool resources listed on this page; some that I was aware of I now have a little cleared understanding of how they work.
