Michigan has no general paper case report form; physicians report communicable diseases through the Michigan Disease Surveillance System (MDSS), a web-based system that MDHHS says reporting can, and whenever possible should, go through. Most conditions on the 2026 reportable list must be reported to MDSS or the local health department within 24 hours of clinical or laboratory identification.
Physicians and laboratory directors, or their designees, must report; dentists, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, infection preventionists and other health professionals are also authorized to report. Office staff enter cases once the practice is enrolled.

Michigan Disease Surveillance System (MDSS) case report
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) takes this form through its online services or your EMR, so there is no PDF to fill. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you complete it.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.
Vero is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the agencies and insurers listed here. Read our editorial policy.
Contact your local health department's communicable disease program, or go to michigan.gov/mdss, to enroll. MDHHS also expects health facility infection control committees to set policies so that both the physicians treating patients at the facility and its laboratories report appropriately.
Within 24 hours for the conditions on the reportable disease list when the agent is identified by clinical or laboratory diagnosis, with footnoted exceptions. Report suspected or confirmed diseases even if you think another provider or the lab already reported them.
Unusual occurrences, outbreaks or epidemics must also be reported. To the extent the information is available, include the nature of the suspected condition, the approximate number of cases, approximate onset dates, and the location, such as a nursing home, daycare or restaurant.
