Recently the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan Association has been arguing against the Michigan Department of Human and Health Services. MDHHS isn\u2019t an agency that criminal defense attorneys all too often come into contact with, however, recently MDHHS has been proposing some very serious changes to the Medicaid program. Interestingly enough, MDHHS has recently proposed a revision to its \u201cProvider Enrollment Fitness Criteria.\u201d It is Policy Number 1635-PE Revised. The proposed policy, if adopted, will exclude from employment with a Medicaid provider anyone with a felony conviction in the previous 10 years or a misdemeanor conviction in the previous 5 years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan Association has formally directed an<\/div>\n
opposition to this policy to the Deputy Legal Counsel in the Governor\u2019s Office. It is the position of CDAM that, \u201c the MDHHS\u2019 blanket exclusion of those convicted of crimes regardless of any logical connection to health care does not further the goal of patient protection or health system integrity, and is a huge step backwards in the State\u2019s focus on reintegration of offenders.\u201d<\/div>\n

The juxtaposition of this proposed revision and the heart and soul of our judicial process is far off balance. Once an offender pays his debt to society and serves out his sentence it is then time to reintegrate him back to becoming a productive member of his community. This provision places added burden and added pressure to the already prejudiced offender in finding employment to provide for themselves and their families. It is overwhelming more so since the exclusion encompasses all convicted offenders. They policy revision does not restrict itself merely to violent offenders or those who have committed crimes against the health care system. No, in fact, it will include even those who have been convicted of something as simple<\/div>\n
as a misdemeanor truancy offense.<\/div>\n
