WHEREAS, a review of the Nursing Home Rate Setting functions of the Bureau of Health Care Administration, Michigan Department of Public Health, and the cost, audit and rate setting functions of the Bureau of Medical Assistance, Michigan Department of Social Services, reveal significant overlap and duplication; and
WHEREAS, such duplication and overlap of these primarily fiscal functions create confusion and internal problems for providers (nursing homes, hospitals, and medical care facilities) and result in loss of program effectiveness; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 2, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, empowers the Governor to make changes in the organization of the executive branch or assignment of functions among its units which he considers necessary for efficient administration.
THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM G. MILLIKEN, Governor of the State of Michigan, pursuant to the authority vested in me by the provisions of Article V, Section 2, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, do hereby order the following:
