Step 6 MDH Notification

The certification report and letter will go to the Commissioner of Health/Assistant Commissioner of Health for signature and the applicant will receive a copy of the certification letter, the report, and instructions regarding next steps and payer notification supporting reimbursement for care coordination services.
Certified organizations will be provided with a HCH Seal of Certification to display within the organization. An electronic version, which may be used in marketing and print materials, will also be provided.
