Effective September 1, 2025, there is a rate change in the OBRA Waiver and Act 150 Program for the monthly Financial Management Services (FMS) procedure code W7341. The new FMS monthly ongoing rate is $101.43, starting with the September 1, 2025, date of service.

Home and Community Services Information System (HCSIS) service plans are being updated to reflect the September 1 effective date. Service Coordinators do not need to make any service plan updates for this rate change, as an HCSIS system-wide update is being deployed to make the necessary service data rate updates on the impacted service plans.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Long-Term Living Provider Inquiry Line at 800-932-0939, Option 2, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm.
