Community Health Worker Sustainability Program

CHWs are an essential part of a health care, social services, or community-based organization team. They bring knowledge and skills that enhance the quality and experience of their patients’/clients’ care. How are they best integrated into those teams? What sources are available to reimburse the services they provide to sustain their role within an organization or provider practice?

This new two-part program will:

  • Identify services for which a CHW can bill
  • Explain the requirements for billing the primary payors in Michigan
  • Discuss how to utilize HCPCS codes to report services provided
  • Describe how ICD-10-CM Z-codes are used to report social determinants of health
  • Discuss potential functions and workflows in the organizational setting
  • Identify documentation requirements and more

The program is designed for CHWs and other members of the health care, social services, or community-based organization team who regularly interact with CHWs or who wish to gain a greater understanding of the value of CHWs within the team.
