Health facilities: nursing homes; nursing home reporting requirements; provide for. Amends sec. 111m of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.111m).

Michigan House Bill 6267 aims to amend Section 111m of the Social Welfare Act (1939 PA 280) to establish specific reporting requirements for nursing homes. The bill defines key terms such as "audit," "completed audit," and "Medicaid cost report," and outlines the conditions under which nursing homes must file complete or less-than-complete cost reports. It specifies that facilities with six or more Medicaid residents per day must submit a complete cost report, which includes detailed financial information on all related companies. The bill also clarifies that nursing homes with fewer than six Medicaid residents per day are exempt from full audits and can file a less-than-complete cost report. The proposed changes aim to enhance transparency and accountability in nursing home financial reporting. ([legiscan.com](https://legiscan.com/MI/text/HB6267/2025?utm_source=openai))
