Becoming a Purchase of Service Provider

AAANM establishes Purchase of Service (POS) Agreements with Providers in order to serve participants of the MI Choice Waiver and OSA Care Management Programs.  Services are purchased on a pre-set, per-unit basis according to an established Provider agreement and the participant’s Plan of Care.

Some of the most frequently purchased services include: Homemaking, Personal Care, In-Home Respite, Home Delivered Meals, Private Duty Nursing, Personal Emergency Response Systems, and Adult Day Care.

POS Provider Criteria:

All potential Providers must be able to comply with services standards set by the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging (OSA). AAANM monitors compliance with these standards through Provider Audits.

OSA Service Standards

 

AAANM requires potential Providers to demonstrate relevant local service delivery performance. A general guideline for new potential Providers is six months of prior service delivery experience.

How to Become a POS Provider:

AAANM brings new Providers into our pool each October.  Applications of consideration are accepted throughout the year and are reviewed each July.  Interviews are then scheduled in order to ensure the Provider’s ability to comply with standards.

A POS agreement at times other than October when:

• There are insufficient providers to meet the need.
• A program Participant has an established relationship with a Provider who is not currently in our pool.
