Medicaid in Michigan: Expanded

Michigan expanded Medicaid in 2014 through the Healthy Michigan Plan, a bipartisan initiative. The program covers adults earning up to 138% FPL and includes a healthy behavior incentive that can reduce cost-sharing.

Benefits in Michigan

Michigan's Healthy Michigan Plan is notable for its "MI Health Account" incentive — enrollees who complete wellness activities like annual physicals can reduce their premiums and copays. Michigan processes benefits through its MI Bridges online portal, allowing residents to apply for SNAP, Medicaid, and State Emergency Relief in one place. Michigan has a strong SNAP outreach program and relatively high participation among eligible households.

Main agency: Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS)
