Flint Waiver Progress Report (Archived Reports)
(updated on the last Tuesday of every month)
Medicaid coverage will be available in Flint to cover children up to age 21 and pregnant women as part of the ongoing efforts to help people affected by the Flint water crisis.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) intends to submit a waiver extension request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the Flint Michigan Section 1115 Demonstration (Project Number 11-W-00302/5)
The overarching goal of the MDHHS waiver application is to “identify and address any physical or behavioral health issues associated with actual or potential exposure to lead hazards.” The Demonstration expands eligibility of all Medicaid benefits for low-income children (up to age 21 including children born to eligible pregnant women) and pregnant women (through twelve months post-delivery) served by the Flint water region from
April 1, 2014, through September 30, 2025. The specific eligibility modifications included:
• Increase income threshold to offer coverage to children in households with incomes
from 212% federal poverty level (FPL) up to and including 400% FPL.
• Increase income threshold to offer coverage to pregnant women in households with
incomes from 195% FPL up to and including 400% FPL.
• Eliminate cost sharing and Medicaid premiums for eligible children and pregnant
women served by the Flint water system.
