MI Coordinated Health (MICH)

What is MI Coordinated Health?

MI Coordinated Health, or MICH, is health plan coverage for those who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. It covers all Medicare and most Medicaid benefits, excluding certain behavioral health services and some community transition services, but including long-term services and supports. Members in this plan will not have co-pays or deductibles for in-network services, except in some instances for Medicare Part D drugs. Individuals with Pre-Eligibility Medical Expenses (PEME) and Patient Pay Amounts (PPAs) are still required to pay these expenses when enrolled in MI Coordinated Health. Members will only need one health insurance card to access covered services.

Home and Community-Based Services

Through the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver, MICH enrollees who require a Nursing Home Level of Care but prefer to live in the community can receive assistance in their own homes or residential settings rather than in institutional settings like nursing homes.

For Health Plans & Providers

MDHHS recognizes the challenges providers face in coordinating care for persons eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. MICH aims to reduce the administrative burden for providers and simplify the navigation of benefits and services for this population.
