Per michigan.gov/mmp , Under Michigan MMMA Law and Rules, 2009 Administrative Changes:
Rule 19. (1) In order to update registry information for a qualifying patient or primary caregiver, the
registered qualifying patient, registered primary caregiver, or registered qualifying patient's parent or
legal guardian, as applicable, is responsible for notifying the department of a change in any of the
following:
(a) The registered qualifying patient's name.
(b) The registered qualifying patient's address.
(c) The registered qualifying patient's primary caregiver.
(d) The registered qualifying patient's legal guardian.
(2) The department may notify a registered primary caregiver by certified mail at the address of record
within 14 days of any changes in status including, but not limited to, both of the following:
(a) The registered qualifying patient's termination of the individual's status as primary caregiver or
designation of another individual as the registered primary caregiver.
(b) The end of eligibility for the registered qualifying patient to hold a registry identification card.
(3) If the department is notified by a registered qualifying patient that the registered primary caregiver
for the patient has changed, the department may notify the initial primary caregiver by certified mail at the
address of record that the caregiver's registry identification card is null and void and of no effect.
(4) If a registered qualifying patient's certifying physician notifies the department in writing that the
patient has ceased to suffer from a debilitating medical condition, the department shall notify the
patient within 14 days of receipt of the written notification that the patient's registry identification card is
null and void and of no effect.
I am not a lawyer, but it sounds like your patient needs to get that issue fixed quickly. Id say to get it fixed between secretary of state and the MMMP to make sure the addresses match.
Make sure you follow all of the rules to the T. One slip on any of them can get you into years of trouble.
