Help with Home and Community Based Services
The MI Choice, Community Transition Services (CTS), and PACE Ombudsman Program (MICPOP) educates, supports, and advocates on behalf of participants in the MI Choice waiver, CTS, and PACE programs. We also help people applying to those programs.
MICPOP works to ensure participants receive the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) they are entitled to under these programs as well as to protect a participant’s rights.
