Michigan exempts CMS model arrangements from state anti-kickback law
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed Senate Bill 1052 on September 21, 2026, now 2026 Public Act 97, effective immediately. It amends the Medicaid False Claim Act (MCL 400.604) so that model arrangements and model patient incentives authorized and sponsored by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services do not constitute a kickback or bribe under Michigan's Medicaid anti-kickback provision, which otherwise carries up to four years' imprisonment or a $30,000 fine.
