Michigan’s Medicaid program is scheduled to expand on April 1, 2014.
Here are 3 Things You Should Know:
1. Healthy Michigan: Michigan’s Medicaid Expansion is called “Healthy Michigan.” Michigan residents are eligible if they have a single income of $15,000 or less or a family of 4 income of $34,000 or less. Michigan joins 23 other states who have already expanded their Medicaid programs. The cost of the expansion will be 100% covered by the federal government in 2014-2016.
2. Number to Call: Patients are currently not able to sign up for Healthy Michigan on line as the application is not yet available. If your patients have questions, they should call 1-517-367-7293 or they can call one of the 500 Enrollment Assistants in SE Michigan.
3. Other Help: Several SE Michigan health systems are also providing patients with health insurance education including the Detroit Medical Center, St. John Providence Health System, Oakwood and St. Joseph Mercy Health System.
