You have options

Medicaid, sometimes called Healthy Michigan, is a health care program that offers complete health care services to adults and children with low income. Many things affect whether you’re eligible for Medicaid, so if something changes in your life, your eligibility might change, too.

However, you still have options for quality health care coverage. Losing Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage makes you eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP).

Reasons you might lose Medicaid or CHIP eligibility

  • A new job with employer-provided health care
  • An increase in your household income
  • An inheritance of money or property
  • Family changes, like marital status
  • Moving out of state
  • Pregnancy that qualified you for Medicaid is ending

How does a Special Enrollment Period work?

If you lose Medicaid or CHIP coverage, you can enroll in a new plan up to 60 days before your coverage ends to avoid any gaps in coverage.

Your new coverage will begin on the first day of the month after your Medicaid or CHIP coverage ends.

When you apply, you’ll be asked questions about your current income, job-based coverage and your recent loss of Medicaid or CHIP coverage.

When you apply, you’ll be told right away if you qualify for any financial assistance through Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies. In fact, 4 out of 5 Michigan residents could pay $10 or less per month1 for a MyPriority® plan thanks to ACA subsidies.

How to choose a health plan

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a new health plan, including medical needs, provider preferences and budget.

Sometimes, plans with a low monthly premium seem less expensive but end up costing you more if they don't cover all you need. Your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, copays and coinsurance contribute to the full amount you'll pay for health coverage and should also be considered.

Plan benefits and extras, along with available subsidies that help you pay for your coverage, can also make a difference in the overall value.
