Consumer Health Insurance and Assistance

Health Insurance

Nationwide, Medicaid beneficiaries will have to renew their coverage starting this year to comply with federal legislation. In Michigan, annual renewals will begin again in June 2023.

If you receive notice that you or a family member are no longer eligible for Medicaid or MIChild benefits, don’t worry, you have other options including options for low or no-cost coverage. Learn more at Michigan.gov/StayCovered.

Also, there may be changes to your health insurance coverage for COVID-related testing now that the Public Health Emergency has ended. Learn more on the Insurance Coverage for Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Tests webpage.

FEMA implemented its COVID-19 Funeral Assistance program to help ease some of the financial stress and burden caused by the pandemic. The COVID-19 Funeral Assistance program is available until September 30, 2025, and can help with funeral and burial expenses that many families did not anticipate.
