Summary
Michigan's Healthy Michigan Plan (Medicaid expansion) is implementing new work requirements effective January 1, 2020, requiring beneficiaries aged 19-61 to complete 80 hours of work or qualifying activities monthly or face potential coverage loss. This policy also updates healthy behavior incentives, co-pays, and medically frail identification processes.
Action Required
Before January 1, 2020: Billing team should verify Healthy Michigan Plan patient eligibility more frequently due to potential coverage disruptions from work requirement non-compliance. Update patient intake processes to identify patients who may be at risk of losing coverage. Monitor for increased eligibility changes and coverage gaps that could affect claim processing and collections.
