Michigan Medicaid - MDHHS·MI·Provider Bulletin
Effective date

We identified it
Jun 20, 2026
Summary
The MI Health Link program is transitioning to MI Coordinated Health (MICH) program on January 1, 2026, affecting dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries in limited Michigan regions. This creates a new Highly Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (HIDE SNP) that will coordinate most Medicaid benefits under Medicare Advantage, excluding certain behavioral health services.
Action Required
By January 1, 2026: Billing teams serving dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients in Michigan must update systems to recognize MICH program as the new coordinated plan replacing MI Health Link. Verify patient eligibility and plan details for members in affected Michigan regions. Contact Provider Support at ProviderSupport@michigan.gov or 800-292-2550 for program-specific billing guidance.
