Who are Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP) Providers?

MIHP is administered by a network of certified provider agencies throughout the state in rural, urban, and Native American communities. Providers are located in local and district health departments, federally qualified health centers, hospital-associated programs and independent community based agencies.

MIHP services include evidence-based health and psychosocial assessments, individualized plans of care, coordination of services with medical care providers and Medicaid Health Plans, including referrals for community resources and local childbirth education or parenting classes.

The Department of Health and Human Services continually assesses the efficacy of MIHP and works to improve service delivery to meet the needs of Michigan families.

MIHP providers deliver services that include:

- Maternal and infant assessments 
- Individualized plans of care based on family needs
- Coordination of services with medical care providers and Medicaid Health Plans
- Home, office, and telehealth visits 
- Referrals for local community resources
- Referral to transportation services, as needed
